(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) The State of Connecticut charged Teresa Beatty $249 per day, every day, while she was in prison for a minor drug offense from 2000 to 2002—But she wouldn't discover this until 20 years later. When her mother died in 2020, the State of Connecticut filed a notice in probate court demanding approximately 35%—over $83,000—of Beatty's inheritance. And it was perfectly legal. In fact, at least 45 states in America force you to pay (literally) for the privilege of being imprisoned in a country with one of the highest incarceration rates in the world... This is Beatty v. Lamont (2022), State v. Richey (2019), and "Pay-To-Stay" laws. Links Captive Money Lab: "Pay-to-stay laws keep a person incarcerated long after their prison term ends."

What happens when one woman believes so deeply in the power of dogs to change lives that she builds a program to prove it — and keeps it alive even after the state stops funding it? Content Note: In this episode, there are mentions of child abuse and neglect and a juvenile case involving murder and the death of a dog. These topics are discussed only in passing, but we recognize they may be sensitive for some listeners. In this episode, we'll meet Joan Dalton, author of the book Second Chances: The Transformative Relationship Between Incarcerated Youth and Shelter Dogs.  Joan is the founder of Project POOCH, a program pairing teens in juvenile detention with shelter dogs. What started as an idea grew into a transformative program that not only rehabilitates dogs in need of homes but also teaches young people the skills and compassion they need to heal and move forward. Joan & I discuss how the program began, the life-changing impacts she's witnessed and the resilience it took to keep the program going when funding was pulled.  From trauma to trust, you'll hear how Project POOCH creates powerful paths to healing, empathy and redemption — for both humans and animals. Juvenile justice is something we should all care about, because these youths will return to society as adults. We have an opportunity — and a responsibility — to help them grow into contributing members of society. When we give people and animals the tools to heal, the results can transform lives and communities.   Find links & show notes at: https://believeindogpodcast.com/episodes-1/episode130 Did you get the Pet Parent "Gut Check" yet?

True crime stories dominate our screens and feeds. But John J. Lennon wants us to question how much truth they're telling – and whose. He reflects on those ideas in his book The Tragedy of True Crime: Four Guilty Men and the Stories That Define Us. And one of the guilty men he writes about is himself. Lennon is serving a 28-years-to-life sentence in New York state for murder, drug sales and gun possession, and has become a professional writer while in prison. He joins Piya Chattopadhyay to talk about his approach to telling crime stories, and the search for meaning, growth and identity inside the system.

Sean Combs, known to many as Puffy or P Diddy, remains a headline figure as of today, September 22, 2025, and not for his music or business ventures, but for a dramatic descent into legal and personal turmoil. According to reporting from People, Combs is currently behind bars at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center after being indicted on multiple racketeering and sex crime charges. His lawyers have decried the conditions as “horrific” and revealed that Combs is on suicide watch in the austere lockup. Despite the dire circumstances, they insist he is “strong, healthy, and focused on his defense,” and maintains full confidence in his legal team, firmly pleading not guilty to all charges. However, corrections experts and even former inmates have warned that as one of the world's most recognizable celebrities accused of violence against women, Combs could become a prime target for assault and exploitation within the prison's subculture, further complicating his pre-trial detention, which his counsel already deems unfit for someone in his position, as detailed in People's coverage.The ongoing prosecution and public scrutiny have also unraveled the fabric of Combs's personal empire. Reports from FandomWire and IMDb confirm that his net worth, once valued near $740 million, has been decimated by more than 50 lawsuits and mounting legal bills, with experts warning that this storm of litigation could potentially bankrupt him. RadarOnline points out that denied bail and convicted on lesser charges, he now faces a steep sentence and remains in jail, with expenditures on defense and settlement payouts allegedly bleeding his fortune dry.Meanwhile, Combs' troubles have spilled over to his property and business assets. According to The Independent, Combs' former Atlanta mansion sits abandoned, rife with dust and decay — a stark symbol of his unraveling fortunes. His highly publicized business rift with Diageo, the company behind his Ciroc vodka and DeLeón tequila ventures, ended earlier this year in a mutual agreement to part ways, severing the lucrative partnership that helped build his brand beyond music.The controversies have only intensified with explosive claims, including resurfaced interviews with his past security team alleging abuse of minors in the music industry, and the ongoing fallout from federal raids on his LA and Miami residences connected to sex trafficking investigations, as reported by Fox 11 and various legal filings.Despite Combs' denials and his public vow to “fight for my name, my family and for the truth,” there has been a relentless wave of lawsuits and allegations that continue to shadow every aspect of his life.Listeners, thank you for tuning in for this update on Sean Combs' ongoing legal saga.

On this week's episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Robin Steinberg — attorney, advocate, and founder of The Bronx Defenders, Still She Rises, and The Bail Project. Robin has spent her entire career fighting for justice and reimagining what public defense and true equity could look like in America. Her unwavering belief is simple but revolutionary: every person deserves dignity, humanity, and a real defense — no matter who they are or what resources they have. In 1997, Robin founded The Bronx Defenders in New York City, pioneering a holistic model of public defense that addresses not only courtroom battles, but also the housing, health, family, and immigration issues that so often shape people's cases. She went on to create Still She Rises in Oklahoma — the first public defender office in the country dedicated exclusively to representing women. Oklahoma has one of the highest incarceration rates for women, and it became the backdrop for Robin's bold vision: to provide women with holistic legal representation, recognizing that defending women means defending their families, children, and communities. Did you know that women are the fastest-growing population in jail and prison? Robin's insights into women and incarceration are both powerful and eye-opening. And in 2017, Robin launched The Bail Project, a national nonprofit that combats mass incarceration at its entry point: the cash bail system. The Bail Project provides free bail assistance and pretrial support to thousands of people each year who would otherwise remain jailed simply because they cannot afford bail — ensuring that freedom isn't determined by the size of someone's bank account. In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ Robin's journey to becoming a passionate advocate for justice; ✨ The story behind The Bronx Defenders and the holistic defense model she pioneered; ✨ Why she launched Still She Rises and how it's transforming the lives of women in Oklahoma and beyond; ✨ The devastating impact of cash bail and how The Bail Project is working to end it; ✨ Robin's insights into women and incarceration — and why they are the fastest-growing population in jail and prison; ✨ And so much more! Follow The Bail Project on Instagram @bailproject and visit TheBailProject.org Learn more about Still She Rises: StillSheRises.org Learn more about The Bronx Defenders: BronxDefenders.org Buy Robin's book The Courage of Compassion.

True Crime Tuesday Presents Crime And Unusual Punishment: The Psychological Realities Of Federal Prison w/Former Psychologist/Author, Paul Smith! Paul Smith was a clinical psychologist sentenced to 51 months for healthcare fraud and in his new book, confronts the harsh realities of federal prison. Incarcerated amid the chaos of the COVID pandemic, he endured a relentless odyssey through eight different prison facilities, caught in a near-perpetual cycle of transfer. Through his expert lens, CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT: A Memoir of the Psychological Realities of Federal Prison unveils the stark truth of an uncivilized, harsh, and insane system that erodes the very essence of humanity. The author reveals a grim truth: extended exposure to the cruel environment of prison—crafted by government policy and the ruthless prisoner code—strips away humanity, pushing individuals toward savagery. Drawing from his own struggle to preserve his sense of self and the hard-earned wisdom of those who survived years of confinement, he offers a raw, introspective exploration of survival under psychological siege. On today's episode, we sit down with Paul and talk to him about the psychological effects of the prison system on the average inmate, whether every inmate is redeemable, and changing over the prison system from a punitive system to a truly reformative one and what model should be used as an example.

They do essentially the same work as other firefighters but are paid as little as around $5 a day.

During his time in Los Angeles County's juvenile justice facilities, Dovontray Farmer said he fell behind academically. He said his time in those facilities “played a major role in not being able to get properly educated — I felt betrayed, honestly.” Dovontray, now 24, mentors students who were recently released from detention, and he's found that academic expectations in juvenile detention are still as low as they were when he was detained. A group called the Education Justice Coalition released a report this month, calling out Los Angeles County for its continuing failure to educate incarcerated youth, despite a civil grand jury report and investigations by the federal and state Department of Justice. Who is responsible for Los Angeles County's continuing failure to educate incarcerated young people?
