It's Emmajority Report Thursday! On today's show: After facing significant backlash, Scott Bessent makes a half-hearted attempt to walk back his comments about using Trump "accounts" as a backdoor to privatize Social Security. Silky Shah, author of Unbuild Walls: Why Immigrant Justice Needs Abolition, joins us to discuss how immigration policy fuels mass incarceration. Then, Tim Sahay, co-editor of the Polycrisis newsletter, stops by to talk about the crumbling foundations of neoliberalism and what comes next. In the Fun Half: Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder join us as we kick things off with Cory Booker's passionate floor speech—no, not about Gaza, Epstein, or austerity—but about a procedural technicality in a bill he supported twice. We break down the Senate vote on Bernie Sanders' failed proposal to block additional arms shipments to Israel—and Bernie's ongoing refusal to say the word “genocide.” Plus: a deep-pocketed centrist enters the race for Jerry Nadler's seat, borrowing stylistic cues from Zohran Mamdani, minus the actual policy platform.

Clark Fredericks' life was forever changed by one of the darkest betrayals imaginable—he was groomed and abused by his Boy Scout leader, a man who was also a respected police officer. That trauma led Clark down a destructive path filled with addiction, gambling, and mob debt. But everything came to a head years later when he ran into his abuser again… and snapped. Clark was charged with murder—but the truth behind what happened changed everything. In this emotional and raw episode, Clark opens up about the abuse, the moment he took justice into his own hands, his time behind bars, and how he's finally found peace after the storm. #TrueCrimeStory #SurvivorTestimony #PrisonRedemption #JusticeSystem #ChildAbuseAwareness #MurderToManslaughter #AbuseSurvivor #LockedInPodcast Connect with Clark Fredericks: https://konect.to/freelike-me08808 Buy his book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1668018659?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apan_dp_0BFKHXN4B89PVPJMS5Q6_1&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apan_dp_0BFKHXN4B89PVPJMS5Q6_1&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apan_dp_0BFKHXN4B89PVPJMS5Q6_1&bestFormat=true&csmig=1 Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00:00 Intro 00:06:46 The Hidden Dangers of Trust and Secrets 00:14:36 Manipulative Relationships in Childhood 00:22:33 Living in Silence 00:30:47 False Allegations and Their Consequences 00:38:59 Coping Mechanisms and Consequences 00:47:13 Navigating Youth and Self-Awareness 00:56:00 Deep in Debt: Owing the Mob $77,000 01:03:57 Face-to-Face with a Crime Family Threat 01:11:49 Struggles 01:20:33 Confronting the Past: A Return to the cop's Home 01:28:37 Confrontation with Law Enforcement 01:36:14 Prison Life and Unexpected Support 01:44:11 First Day in Prison: Challenges and Adjustments 01:52:06 Reflections on Incarceration and Release 01:59:08 An Inspirational Journey Through Adversity 02:06:37 Promoting Healing with "Scarred" Book Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

Stories are the ways that we can relate our experiences to others. It is the most primary form of human communication, which makes it kind of ironic that people seem to be discovering the importance of storytelling. Through stories things become memorable, or more easily remembered. Growing up going to Catholic school, I might have a hard time remembering the Ten Commandments or the Beatitudes, I could remember the gist of the parables. A good story can be transformational, changing the ways that we look at the world and ourselves. The importance of story is at the center of my conversation with today's guest Diane Kahn of the Humans of San Quentin. If you are not familiar, San Quentin is one of the state prisons in California. It houses approximately 4000 inmates, which is over its original capacity of 3,084. It is the state's oldest facility, founded in 1852. In March of 2023, Governor Gavin Newsom announced the future transformation of the prison to focus on rehabilitation rather than just incarceration.Diane started Humans of San Quentin with a similar goal in mind. She has a background of an educator, which involved going to the University of San Francisco. That led to an opportunity to engage with inmates at San Quentin. Through that opportunity, she heard the stories of those behind the walls, and knew that she had to do what she could to bring them to the outside world. As she relates, the program aspires to educate and build compassion by sharing the lives of humans living behind bars. The inmates feel affirmed in realizing they have something worth saying, and that people want to learn about them. We also talk about her educational experiences of teaching in San Quentin, having an audience that wants to learn, and not having to compete with the distraction of electronics in the classroom. We explore how by demystifying inmates we can create programs and heal both victims and offenders.Finally, we talk about how the program is not in over 100 prisons in the US, as well as around the world, showing that there is a broader need to have people's stories told and heard. Humans of San Quentin: https://humansofsanquentin.org/The Prison Podcast: https://humansofsanquentin.org/connections/the-prison-podcast/Diane Kahn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/diane-kahn-1a04b1b4/

In this episode of 'Resilience Unravelled,' host Dr. Russell Thackeray welcomes Kevin McCarthy, a former entrepreneur turned consultant, who shares his remarkable life story. From becoming a paper millionaire during the late 90's dot-com bubble to losing everything and eventually spending 33 months in a federal prison for unknowingly committing a crime under a deceptive boss, Kevin discusses the concept of 'blind spots.' These blind spots, which include unconscious biases, thinking errors, and limiting beliefs, cloud our judgments and can lead to destructive behaviours. Kevin highlights how his time in prison led him to self-reflect, study cognitive psychology, and ultimately write his book 'Blind Spots: Why Good People Make Bad Choices.' He explains his approach to addressing blind spots through self-awareness and feedback, along with details about his blind spot assessment tool based on the DISC framework. Kevin also emphasizes the importance of choice in finding purpose and resiliency.00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:19 Kevin's Entrepreneurial Journey01:00 The Downfall and Prison Experience05:44 Understanding Blind Spots06:42 Unconscious Bias and Thinking Errors11:39 Leadership and Self-Reflection20:08 Navigating Prison Life23:45 Finding Purpose and Resilience24:02 Conclusion and Contact InformationYou can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com

Sean “Diddy” Combs now finds himself at a dramatic and irreversible crossroad. On one side lies the prospect of federal incarceration—an outcome already partially realized as he remains held without bail in a detention center, stripped of the image, influence, and power that once shielded him. On the other side, a narrowing path toward limited freedom, constrained by the weight of felony convictions under the Mann Act. Though he was acquitted of the most severe charges, his guilty verdicts have firmly placed him in the federal system's grip. The judge's upcoming sentencing decision will determine whether his future is served behind bars for years or counted through supervised release, probation, or credit for time already served. Every legal maneuver now carries life-altering consequences, not just for his physical freedom but for his empire, reputation, and legacy.As the clock ticks toward his October sentencing, Diddy is in a liminal space—neither free nor formally sentenced, yet deeply aware of the walls closing in. The government is pushing for years of incarceration, arguing that the crimes he was convicted of are part of a broader, disturbing pattern of abuse and control. His legal team, in contrast, is urging the court to consider the nearly ten months he's already spent behind bars as sufficient punishment, emphasizing his past contributions to music and culture. But those arguments may falter in the face of mounting civil lawsuits, new allegations, and a public image that continues to deteriorate with each passing week.

In this gripping episode, we follow Angel's journey through the justice system, from rejecting trial and negotiating his own plea deals to enduring the unforgiving reality of long-term incarceration. He opens up about the violent rules of prison politics, the mental strain of life behind bars, and the hidden battles of reentering society after decades inside. It's a raw, eye-opening account of choices, their consequences, and the resilience it takes to survive a system stacked against you. Key Moments in this Episode:Why Angel avoided trial and negotiated plea deals to protect himself. The harsh prison hierarchy: race-based survival, violence, and constant power struggles. The emotional toll of missing family while in prison, especially during the holidays. How Angel used education to preserve his identity and sharpen his mind. The struggle to adjust to a world that has moved on without you. This episode isn't just about crime or punishment; it's about humanity. Angel's story forces us to reconsider what justice looks like, what prison really does to people, and how nearly impossible it is to start over after being swallowed by the system.

Long-time friend and Christian colleague Diane Ujiiye, the co-director of nonprofit www.api-rise.org, introduced me to her Program Director Kanaka Mālia Luna Jennings, a proud Native Hawaiian and Filipina who, while a juvenile, had been incarcerated for 23 years. Her father died while she was inside, which served as a desperately needed wake up call to grow up, turn to God, and begin turning her life around. After she was released from prison, however, ICE swooped her up, and those seven months of detention were more dehumanizing and difficult than anything she'd experienced in prison. Hers is a remarkable and inspiring story of how true change that begins within can ripple outward to heal communities and generations.

On this episode of Everyday Injustice, host David Greenwald sits down with distinguished Rutgers University professor Todd Clear, a leading scholar on mass incarceration and its social consequences. With a career spanning over five decades, Clear has been at the forefront of research showing how incarceration harms communities, especially in already-disadvantaged neighborhoods. In this deeply reflective conversation, he shares insights from his landmark work Incarceration and Communities and opens up about his intellectual journey—from aspiring prison reformer to abolitionist thinker. Clear recounts the moment that shifted the trajectory of his career: the 1971 Attica Rebellion, which occurred just as he began graduate school. That event led him to question not only the effectiveness of prison rehabilitation but the very purpose of prisons themselves. Over time, his work evolved into a broader critique of the justice system's failure to promote community well-being. Rather than making neighborhoods safer, Clear argues, mass incarceration has torn them apart, leaving behind social, emotional, and economic devastation. Throughout the interview, Clear emphasizes the moral and practical failures of a system that punishes excessively while ignoring rehabilitation and human dignity. He argues for a reimagining of justice—one that centers the health of communities and recognizes that risk is not static. Incarceration, he notes, often continues long after any actual threat has diminished. Education, aging, and personal transformation all suggest that many people currently behind bars no longer pose a danger. “If the reason they're in prison is us, not them,” Clear states, “then we owe them something better.” This episode also highlights a crucial but often overlooked point: the growing crisis in rural America. Clear warns that incarceration rates in economically distressed rural communities are now rivaling or surpassing those in urban areas, exacerbating cycles of poverty and political alienation. As public discourse remains focused on urban crime, this rural dimension remains underexplored. In a conversation that spans history, policy, and moral philosophy, Clear calls for bold reforms—and perhaps most urgently, a reckoning with the damage we've done in the name of public safety.

HELLO DOGE and Pam Bondi.     Today we covered Marineka's updates to her case where Judge Natalie Haskins of DE is continuing to disrespect and disregard the imputed income that never existed involving the ex-husband who refuses to show his financials. Now, they have Marineka in the arrears of $23,000.00 and father NOW demands that she go to jail in order to break the  parental bond Marineka has with her daughter.      Bear in mind the father was not involved in their lives since birth and never contributed to help raising their child. SUDDENLY, he comes back into their lives only to turn it upside down. He asked for one day a week only for one hour to visit his daughter. Judge Natalie Haskins replied, "this is going to be an issue when you come back for custody." Essentially, father came back to court so Haskins could reverse custody and she asked him who would be helping him raise his child. He told her his father, who is in his 80's would be helping. So Judge Haskins gave him custody. Poor decision making on the part of the judge when their daughter was doing well in reading, and now cannot even spell simple words.

    Slam the Gavel podcast welcomes William Sewell. William, an only child, is from the Lowcountry of South Carolina where apparently "anything goes" in family court, just like everywhere else in this country and GLOBALLY.      William highlighted the corruption going on in his case where he and his ex agreed to coparent their only child after the divorce....until an attorney got involved. Showing the patterns of corruption in the courts beautifully, William explained not only the corruption, but the collusion revolving around Attorney Donnie Gamache. Gamache, who happens to know everybody from the third-party parasites Guardian ad Litems (GAL), to CPS. Another bad actor is the third-party parasite GAL, Jason Wheeler, who William is being extorted to pay a $25,000.00 fee cap, which enables Wheeler to be part of the hearing....Or  William may go to jail.     Lying, perjury and child psychological abuse is allowed in the family courts and William's case has fallen prey to the bad actors allowing it, such as Judge M. Kimmons. The obstruction of justice, witness tampering and trying to obtain 50/50 custody of his only child has now forced him into poverty...And the precarious position of self representation and possibility of incarceration.    Having court this Monday, 6-9-2025, William is questioning if he may go to jail if he can't pay the GAL's extortion fee.

When it comes to his iconic street portraits, Jamel Shabazz is all about building relationships and spreading joy. Yet, beyond the rich tapestry created with both the neighbors and strangers, friends and rivals he's encountered across New York's five boroughs, Jamel's most meaningful role might be that of a street teacher, touching the lives of the people in front of his lens and inviting them to mark their place in history. In today's podcast, we learn from the master while tracing his career path, from early observational learning at the side of his father—a professional photographer in his own right—to his first street portraits of classmates and friends. Jamel also shares how his singular vision was shaped by outside forces, including three years overseas in the Army and 20 years as a New York City corrections officer.  Incredibly, Jamel was able to take his camera along inside, and he describes the fine line he walked in our chat. “So, it was illegal,” he admits, “but I was known to have done it throughout my entire career. As time went on, I became known as that photographer within the department that photographed everybody. You know, the brass, the officers. And I gave everybody the photographs. So, yes, I killed them with kindness.” Guest: Jamel Shabazz Guest Bio: Jamel Shabazz is a documentary, fashion, and street photographer from Brooklyn, who has spent more than four decades capturing the cultural shifts and struggles of New York City through iconic photographs. His pictures have been exhibited worldwide, are permanently housed in prestigious institutions, and currently featured in nine monographs, along with more than three dozen other photo books. A recipient of the 2018 Gordon Parks Award and the Gordon Parks Foundation/Steidl book prize in 2022, Jamel is also dedicated to education, having instructed young students through programs at the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Schomburg Center, and the Bronx Museum. As a member of the Kamoinge photo collective and a board member of En Foco, Jamel's artistic mission remains centered on preserving urban history and culture through powerful, intimate portraits.   Stay Connected: Jamel Shabazz Website Jamel Shabazz Instagram Jamel Shabazz Facebook Jamel Shabazz Wikipedia Host: Derek Fahsbender Senior Creative Producer: Jill Waterman Senior Technical Producer: Mike Weinstein Executive Producer: Richard Stevens

Private companies and state governments have long exploited the 13th Amendment to create a profitable agribusiness system that runs on prison slave labor. “If you look at the history of agriculture in the United States, it's built on dispossession, it's built on enslavement,” says Joshua Sbicca, director of the Prison Agriculture Lab, and the legacy of that violence lives on in the big business of “agricarceral” farming today. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, host and former political prisoner Mansa Musa speaks with Sbicca about the prisoners farming our food, the parties profiting from their exploitation, and the ongoing fight to uphold the basic rights and dignity of incarcerated workers.Producer / Videographer / Post-Production: Cameron GranadinoHelp us continue producing Rattling the Bars by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterFollow us on BlueskyLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we bring you an episode from Inheriting Season One. Inheriting is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. Leah Bash is an avid runner, a dog mom, a wife – and there’s a part of her family’s history she can’t stop thinking about. The fact that both sides of her family were incarcerated alongside 125,000 other Japanese Americans during World War II. Her father and his six siblings spent more than three years behind barbed wire at isolated camps in Manzanar, California and Crystal City, Texas. After Leah learns about her father’s struggles with panic attacks and is herself diagnosed with bipolar disorder, she starts to wonder: could those experiences at camp during World War II have far-reaching consequences a generation later?
