Podcasts about Contraband

Christine Russo lost her brother Dominic when Mackenzie Shirilla drove a hundred miles an hour into a brick wall in Strongsville, Ohio. Davion Flanagan, nineteen, died alongside him. In a published interview, Christine said it plainly about Mackenzie's parents: “They created a monster — they're monsters themselves.”Recorded prison calls between Mackenzie and her family show how the Shirilla household operates — before the crash and after. Mackenzie tells her mother Natalie she doesn't need rehabilitation. Natalie agrees, saying it's for “actual criminals.” On another call, Natalie calls the Russo family “evil.” Steve Shirilla appeared in the Netflix documentary The Crash, said on camera he was fine with his daughter using marijuana, lost his teaching position at a Catholic school over the comments, and responded by saying the institution “showed their true colors.” For every member of this family, consequences are never about the behavior. They're always about the people who noticed.Inside the Ohio Reformatory for Women, Mackenzie has racked up thirty-six conduct violations — guilty in thirty-two. Contraband. Direct-order refusals. Altered clothing. Visitation issues. A fellow inmate compared her to Regina George from Mean Girls: daily makeup, social positioning, treating the facility like it was still high school. She begs her mother for an iPad. She complains about boredom. She won't eat the food. Her emotional register hasn't shifted since the day she arrived.This episode takes apart the machine that built Mackenzie Shirilla. The parental enabling that never let a consequence stick. The social media mythology that let a teenager build an identity from nothing. And the distance — shorter than any parent wants to admit — between protecting your child and building someone who can't survive contact with the real world.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Steve Shirilla lost his teaching job after defending his convicted daughter on Netflix. Natalie Shirilla was recorded on a prison call telling Mackenzie that Dominic Russo's family are "evil people." Prosecutors decoded calls where mother and daughter spoke in a private made-up language to evade monitoring — and in one decoded exchange, Mackenzie allegedly asked if they could tell police she had a seizure before the crash. Those calls were introduced as evidence at trial.Eric Faddis examines whether this family is helping Mackenzie or building the record against her. Steve went on a podcast and challenged anyone to produce evidence his daughter acted deliberately — while a judge's written findings sit in the public record. On camera for Netflix, he acknowledged being comfortable with his daughter's substance use while teaching at a Catholic elementary school. The Diocese of Cleveland confirmed his contract at Mary Queen of Peace was not renewed. Natalie's "evil people" characterization of the family whose son was killed in the crash — made on a monitored call — is exactly the kind of statement a parole board reviews.Mackenzie's institutional record tells its own story. Thirty-six conduct violations in under three years at the Ohio Reformatory for Women. Guilty on thirty-two. Unauthorized medication. Altered prison clothing. Contraband. Refusing work assignments. More than a hundred video visits with a former inmate who wasn't approved, conducted under someone else's name. She refuses rehabilitation programs. She refers to herself as the third person harmed in what she still calls a car accident. She told her mother on a monitored call she wants to become a life coach when she gets out.Her parole eligibility is September 2037. Faddis breaks down what the parole board actually weighs when they sit across from someone with this institutional record — whether violations push eligibility back, what program refusal signals about readiness for release, whether the recorded statements on monitored calls are quietly becoming the prosecution's exhibit file for a future parole hearing, and what legal exposure Natalie could face for the decoded calls that were used as evidence at trial.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The crash that killed Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan wasn't the first time Mackenzie Shirilla drove to that dead-end road in Strongsville, Ohio. She'd been there days before the fatal night. The data recorder from her car captured the final run — accelerator at full capacity, zero braking, a straight line into a commercial building at close to a hundred miles per hour. Russo and Flanagan were dead at the scene. Shirilla survived.She never talked to police. She never testified. Investigators built the case from the car's data, the prior threats — Shirilla told Russo weeks before she would "crash this car right now" — and monitored jail calls where she and her mother Natalie communicated in a private coded language that investigators cracked. According to prosecutors, the decoded calls revealed Shirilla asking whether they could tell police she'd had a seizure. That claim became the defense theory — a blood pressure condition called POTS allegedly caused a blackout. The judge didn't buy it. He called her actions "controlled, methodical, deliberate, intentional and purposeful."The post-conviction picture hasn't shifted. Thirty-six conduct violations in under three years at the Ohio Reformatory for Women — guilty on thirty-two. Unauthorized medication. Altered clothing. Contraband. Refusing work assignments. More than a hundred video visits with an unapproved former inmate conducted under someone else's name. On recorded calls, Shirilla calls herself the third person harmed by what she still describes as an accident. She told a friend she plans to become a life coach.Her family has reinforced every instinct. Natalie told Mackenzie on a monitored call that prison programs are for "people convicted of crimes like actual criminals." She called the Russo family "evil." Steve Shirilla went on a podcast to challenge anyone to produce evidence of intent — while the judge's written findings sit in the public record. He acknowledged comfort with his daughter's substance use on camera for Netflix while employed at a Catholic elementary school. The Diocese of Cleveland didn't renew his contract.Coffindaffer and Dreeke examine the behavioral pattern from the threats through the rehearsal drive through the crash itself — and why the prison record is the same pattern continuing under a different roof.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Prosecutors decoded calls where Mackenzie Shirilla and her mother Natalie spoke in a private made-up language to evade prison monitoring. In one decoded exchange, Mackenzie allegedly asked if they could tell police she had a seizure before the crash. Those calls were introduced as evidence during the trial that convicted her of killing Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan.That decoded conversation sits at the center of two questions Eric Faddis examines. First: what legal exposure does Natalie Shirilla face for participating in communications designed to circumvent monitoring — communications that contained what prosecutors characterized as an attempt to fabricate evidence? Second: is this family collectively building a record against the very person they're trying to free?Natalie was recorded on a separate monitored call telling Mackenzie that Dominic Russo's family are "evil people." Steve Shirilla lost his teaching position at Mary Queen of Peace School after the Diocese of Cleveland declined to renew his contract following his appearance on Netflix's The Crash. On a podcast, he challenged anyone to produce evidence his daughter acted deliberately — while a judge's written findings documenting exactly that sit in the public record. On camera, he said he was comfortable with his daughter's substance use while employed at a Catholic elementary school.Inside the Ohio Reformatory for Women, Mackenzie's institutional record has grown to thirty-six conduct violations in under three years — guilty on thirty-two. Unauthorized medication. Altered clothing. Contraband. Refusing work assignments. Over a hundred video visits with an unapproved former inmate conducted under someone else's name. She refuses rehabilitation programs. She refers to herself as the third person harmed. She told her mother she wants to be a life coach.Faddis breaks down what a parole board sees when an inmate's institutional file looks like this, whether the monitored calls are building the case against her own release, and whether September 2037 is a date that still means anything given the record she's compiling.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

 How dangerous can a cell phone be behind bars? In Ohio's correctional facilities, unauthorized phones are treated as major contraband because they can be used to coordinate criminal activity, intimidate victims, and bypass monitored communication systems. Through strict searches, staff training, advanced detection technology, and strong legal penalties, Ohio works to keep illicit electronic communication out of its jails and prisons. 

 How does Pennsylvania keep contraband out of its correctional facilities? Through strict mail verification, advanced screening methods, and monitored communication technology, the state works to prevent drugs, weapons, and other prohibited items from entering prisons and jails. These evolving security measures help protect staff, inmates, and facilities while maintaining safe and authorized communication. 

 Keeping contraband out of correctional facilities is a constant challenge, and Iowa is adapting its approach to meet modern threats. From electronic scanners and pat-downs to stricter rules on cell phones and chargers, security measures are designed to protect staff, visitors, and incarcerated individuals. By combining technology with proven screening practices, Iowa aims to maintain safe and secure facilities across the state. 

Thirty-six conduct violations. Guilty on thirty-two. Recorded calls where she refuses rehabilitation, calls herself the third victim, and tells her mother she plans to become a life coach. Mackenzie Shirilla's institutional file at the Ohio Reformatory for Women is growing — and defense attorney Eric Faddis says the parole board will read every page of it.Shirilla was convicted in 2023 of killing Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan after deliberately driving her car into a brick building in Strongsville, Ohio, at roughly a hundred miles an hour. She's serving two concurrent sentences of fifteen years to life, with parole eligibility in September 2037.Her conduct record since entering the facility has been relentless. Unauthorized medication that wasn't prescribed to her. Altered clothing. Contraband. Refusing work assignments. And the one that stands apart from the rest — more than a hundred video visits with a released former inmate using another person's identity. She pleaded guilty and took a thirty-day electronics restriction.On recorded calls she knows are monitored, Shirilla describes herself as the third victim of what she still calls an accident. She's expressed zero interest in the rehabilitation programs available to her. She's told her mother she plans to be a life coach when she gets out.Faddis, a criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor, breaks down what this institutional record actually means when the parole board convenes. He explains how violations are weighed, whether refusal to acknowledge the crime carries specific consequences, and whether an inmate's own recorded words can be used against them at a hearing. He also answers the question nobody around Shirilla appears to be asking: what would a defense attorney tell her to do differently starting now?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A federal judge just found Josh Duggar's sworn testimony not credible — for the second time. The first time, it was Jim Bob on the stand. Same judge. Same courtroom. Same word: not credible.Josh Duggar's motion to vacate his conviction was denied on June 1 after Judge Timothy Brooks ruled that Josh's account of how he mailed his appeal was “something akin to a magic bullet theory.” But the mailing failure is just the latest in a pattern that stretches back decades. Contraband phone in prison. Three sentence extensions. Kicked out of honors housing. Multiple rounds of solitary confinement. And four separate courts — including the United States Supreme Court — telling him his conviction stands.The pattern isn't random. It's architectural. Josh grew up inside the IBLP, where children were subjected to blanket training from infancy — a technique designed to break a child's will through physical compliance. The system taught obedience to authority, not personal responsibility. It taught confession as a closed loop: tell your father, tell your pastor, tell God, and the cycle resets. No outside authority needed. No therapist. No court. When Josh confessed to harming his sisters as a teenager, Jim Bob's response was church elders, a conversation with a state trooper friend, and an IBLP facility — not licensed treatment, not law enforcement, not accountability.Josh has now been transferred from minimum security to the Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth. His release date sits at February 2033. He is thirty-eight years old and still operating on the system his parents installed: confess, cry, wait for someone to make it go away. Federal judges don't reset when you say you're sorry. And the Bureau of Prisons doesn't care who your father is.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

 New Mexico correctional facilities are using everything from K-9 units to mail monitoring to stop contraband before it enters prisons and jails. Officials say the definition of contraband goes far beyond drugs and weapons, including unauthorized electronics, currency, and other banned items that can threaten safety inside facilities. With both state and local systems operating differently across New Mexico, strong accountability and strict enforcement remain critical to keeping correctional institutions secure. 

Margaret Ellen and Rayna reconnect, this time diving into Octavia Butler's prophetic masterpiece, Parable of the Sower. In this episode, they bring book club energy out of the coffee shops and into the digital space, inviting listeners to join the Contraband Reading Society, where banned ideas and bold conversations thrive. Together, they unpack Butler's vision through the lens of Black Millennial experience, exploring themes of faith deconstruction, community survival, and spiritual evolution in a world that feels eerily close to Butler's imagined future. Tune in for a conversation that blends literary analysis, Black futurism, and spiritual honesty, all while challenging the boundaries of what “polite society” says we should read, think, or feel.

THE OUTER AHOLE ISN'T YOUR PROBLEM — THEY'RE YOUR INVOICEEvery organism that tunes in tonight arrives carrying the same contraband — a story about someone else. Fully constructed. Causally airtight. Every detail is arranged to produce one conclusion: the problem has a name, and that name belongs to someone outside the body.

This week, we are welcoming home the astronauts by playing songs written by the star man himself: David Bowie! What better way to celebrate our mission to the moon than by hearing other bands cover his varied tunes. The Thin White Duke was a rock n' roll chameleon who influenced music, film, and fashion for over 50 years. Considered one of the most influential artists of all time, he was the most underground mainstream artist, creating the blueprint for many to follow. Hope we freak you out and that ya dig! What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show, Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection: an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. Robert is forced to test his endurance and provide feedback, as he has no idea what he will be subjected to every week. Our hope is that we turn you on to something that was lost on your ears, or something you've simply forgotten about, or that (in our opinion) should have been the next big thing. Songs this week include: The Get Up Kids – “Sufragette City (David Bowie)” from Eudora (2001) Infectious Grooves – “Fame (David Bowie)” from Sarsippius' Ark (1993)  Small Town Titans – “Heroes (David Bowie)” from Heroes - Single (2026) Bauhaus – “Ziggy Stardust (David Bowie)” from Ziggy Stardust - Single (1982) Contraband – “Hang On To Yourself (David Bowie)” from Contraband (1991) DREAMCAR – “Moonage Daydream (David Bowie)” from Dream - EP (2024) Enuff Z'Nuff – “The Jene Genie (David Bowie)” from 10 (2000) Classless Act – “Starman (David Bowie)” from Classless Act Does Bowie - Single (2023) Saigon Kick – “Space Oddity (David Bowie)” from Water (1993) Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!

Former drug kingpin George Day was sentenced to one of the harshest punishments imaginable: life in federal prison plus 90 years. What followed was nearly two decades inside some of the toughest federal prisons in America — fighting appeals, navigating prison politics, and trying to survive a sentence that was supposed to mean he would die behind bars. In this episode, George tells the unbelievable story of his time inside the federal system after being convicted in a controversial case built largely on witness testimony rather than physical evidence. Despite multiple trials and legal battles, he was ultimately convicted and given a life sentence plus additional decades, sending him deep into the federal prison system. Behind bars, George faced the brutal reality of a life sentence — violent prison yards, powerful inmates, and the mental weight of knowing he might never see freedom again. At one point he describes himself as a “dead man walking,” preparing for the possibility that prison would be where his life ended. But George refused to give up. While incarcerated, he continued fighting his case, studying the law, filing appeals, and working through the courts for years. Against overwhelming odds, his persistence eventually paid off. After nearly two decades in prison, his case was revisited and he ultimately received clemency in 2021 under the First Step Act, allowing him to finally walk free.

HEADLINE: Cotton, Contraband, and the Invention of the Handbag GUEST AUTHOR: Anne HigonnetSUMMARY: Higonnet details the material revolution where aristocratic silk was replaced by Indian cotton, a "revolutionary fabric" that allowed painters like Jacques-Louis David to visualize the natural female body. This silhouette necessitated the invention of the modern handbag, as the new slim dresses lacked the space for pockets hidden in traditional voluminous skirts. Josephine further defined the era by popularizing the cashmere shawl and inventing the tiara using Italian cameos. Meanwhile, Juliette Récamier adopted a rigorous all-white aesthetic to symbolize revolutionary purity, sparking a British frenzy to both mock and copy French fashions.11807 JOSEPHINE

Ebo Sosa breaks down how he was pulled into gang life in Georgia at a young age, cycling through county jails and prison boot camps before eventually getting caught up in a RICO case that changed everything. He shares what it was really like being sent to some of Georgia's most violent state prisons, the constant danger inside, and the mindset it took just to survive day to day. This is a raw, firsthand account of gang culture, the realities of juvenile incarceration, and what happens when the justice system collides with street life — told by someone who lived it. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #GeorgiaPrisons #SurvivingPrison #RealStories #LifeAfterPrison #CrimeDocumentary #youtubepodcast _____________________________________________ Connect with Ebo Sosa: https://www.instagram.com/ebo_sosa/?hl=en _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Inside Georgia's Prison System: Violence & Survival 01:12 Who Is Ebo Sosa?

Leo Leonardo is a Rhode Island native who got caught up in the system at a young age, facing repeated arrests that pushed him out of school and into the workforce—before turning to selling drugs when legitimate options fell apart. His path led to a federal drug case, time in both state and federal prison, and some of the harshest consequences behind the walls, including segregation (SEG) and maximum-security prison after continued trouble inside. After his release, Leo struggled to stay straight and was hit with additional gun charges, showing how hard it is to break cycles once the system has its grip. In this raw true-crime interview, Leo breaks down how the feds built their case, what life is really like in max prison and SEG, and the long-term consequences of early choices—an unfiltered look at crime, punishment, and life after prison. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStory #DrugRing #TrueCrimePodcast #FederalPrison #LifeAfterPrison #CrimeStory #ExCon #redemptionstory _____________________________________________ Prizepicks: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!

Discover the interconnectedness of peddling and factory work, the surprising origins of the Aloha shirt, and the key role Syrian workers played in major labor actions like the 1912 Bread and Roses strike in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Associate Professor of History at the University of California and author of "Unmentionables: Textiles, Garment Work, and the Syrian American Working Class" Dr. Stacy D. Fahrenthold discusses her work which offers a class-conscious history of the Syrian-American diaspora, a community of about half a million people in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s. While the "peddler" is often the central figure and icon of this diaspora's economic history for over a century, Fahrenthold shifts the focus to the new immigrants who came to the U.S. and found work in the textile industries. The conversation explores the hidden role of Syrian-American garment workers, particularly young women, who produced goods like "kimonos", undergarments, stockings, and household textiles. 0:00 Introducing Unmentionables & Shifting the Icon from Peddler to Laborer0:40 Lawrence, Massachusetts: The Second Largest Arab-American Community1:48 Who Was The Syrian American Working Class?2:41 The Gap in Arab-American Diaspora History3:14 Textiles and Garment Work4:50 The Peddler: Icon vs Reality7:12 Labor Experience In The U.S. vs Greater Syria8:50 Skilled Silk Weavers and First-Time Proletarians10:14 Syrian Workers and Global Labor Movements11:27 The Bread and Roses Strike of 191215:09 Dynamite, Arrests and Militarization of the Syrian Neighborhood19:16 Scale of Syrian Immigration Compared to Other Groups22:14 The Majority of Textile Workers Were Women24:43 The Connection to the Silk Industry in Mount Lebanon27:28 A Look Inside a Syrian-American Garment Factory29:04 The Kimono: Branding and Orientalism31:50 The Effacement of Origins in the Marketplace35:36 Economic and Social Mobility For Syrian-American Families39:03 The Legacy of Syrian-American Textile Companies40:01 The Lebanese Origins of The Aloha Shirt43:14 Marghab Linen and Racial Stereotyping44:22 Geographic Dispersion of Syrian Communities47:09 Illicit Activity and Contraband in the Diaspora49:22 Recommended Readings In Arab-American History Stacy Fahrenthold is a historian of the modern Middle East specializing in labor migration; displacement/refugees; border studies; and diasporas within and from the region. Her new book "Unmentionables: Textiles, Garment Work, and the Syrian American Working Class" examines how Syrian, Lebanese, and Palestinian immigrant workers navigated processes of racialization, immigration restriction, and labor contestation in the textile industries of the Atlantic world. It recently received the Middle East Studies Association's 2025 Nikki Keddie Award for "outstanding scholarly work in religion, revolution, and/or society." Her award-winning first book, "Between the Ottomans and the Entente: The First World War in the Syrian and Lebanese Diaspora" examines the politics of Syrian and Lebanese migration to the Americas during the First World War, the fall of the Ottoman Empire, and the rise of European Mandates in the Middle East. Fahrenthold is Associate Editor of Mashriq & Mahjar: Journal of Middle Eastern and North African Migration Studies. Connect with Stacy D. Fahrenthold

Robert Rodriguez went from enforcing prison rules… to running the prison from the inside. After serving in the military, Robert became a correctional officer in Georgia — stepping into what he describes as one of the most corrupt prison systems in America. As a young officer, he quickly got swept into a brutal culture of violence, cover-ups, and unchecked power. He participated in beatings, witnessed extreme abuse, and says officers were rewarded for silence. Promoted to sergeant, Robert was rising through the system — until one tragic night. A fatal drunk driving accident led to a 14-year prison sentence… and everything flipped. The former sergeant entered the very world he once controlled — now wearing shackles instead of a badge. Inside, Robert didn't just survive — he became a high-ranking gang member, involved in smuggling contraband, controlling prison politics, and even having illicit relationships with staff. He eventually helped run operations behind bars. #PrisonStories #TrueCrimePodcast #DirtyCop #CorrectionalOfficer #WentToPrison #LawEnforcementTruth #RedemptionStory #LockedInPodcast Thank you to BLUECHEW & GLD for sponsoring this episode: BlueChew: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew & pay five bucks for shipping.

Join us as we unravel the mystery of The Ghost in the Barracks.

Contraband was announced back in 2021. Since then, we've seen just about nothing from the game. No messaging beats, no trailers, and even the Xbox executives didn't yap about this one! After four years of development, this collaboration between Xbox and Avalanche has come to a close. Adding it to the list of canceled Xbox titles, this one feels different to Dependable Cog and Choco Matty. Part of it is apathy, but it's also a new angle from the previous shutdowns where we really don't know much about what was lost. It's a valuable lesson in why Xbox shouldn't announce things early. Beyond our headline, we get into Xbox's president offering her talents to Tyson Foods (?!), Halo coming to PlayStation, a legend leaving Xbox, and diving deep into Matty's recent interview with ex-BioWare vet, Mark Darrah.
