Since entering the federal prison system, Ghislaine Maxwell's appearance has shifted dramatically from the meticulously polished socialite who once navigated black-tie galas and private-jet society. Gone are the designer gowns, the sculpted haircuts, the curated posture of a woman accustomed to cameras and influence. In early court appearances she looked visibly thinner, her hair grown out unevenly with streaks of grey replacing the jet-black style she once maintained. Her complexion appeared more strained and worn, and the crisp, confident expression she carried for decades was replaced by something far more hollow and exhausted. Instead of couture, she now wears standard-issue prison attire, blending into the drab institutional world she once seemed untouchable from.As the months have passed, the transformation has only become more stark. Reports and occasional photos show someone whose physical presence reflects the collapse of her former life: shoulders slumped instead of squared, sharp angles replacing the once carefully-maintained softness of wealth and luxury. The woman who once moved effortlessly among royalty, billionaires, and global elites now appears visibly aged, worn down, and stripped of the identity she built around power and privilege. Her appearance has effectively become a symbol of the downfall of a figure who once floated above accountability — now reduced to the same bleak uniform, fluorescent lighting, and eroded expression as anyone else who ends up behind bars.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

We learned in the last few minutes that death row inmate Ralph Menzies has died. He was sentenced to death for the 19-86 murder of Maurine Hunsaker.  Joining me live is KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas.

Today's Witness Wednesday has two stories I read on Facebook. They are stories of people giving of themselves when they didn't need to. The first one starts with one young girl's selfless acts and ends with a whole lot of people. The next one is about a man who made a lot of mistakes and yet at the end of his life does something remarkable for a little girl he didn't even know. I pray that when you hear them, you can see God moving in the world. I pray that when you hear them, you can see that yes, there are a lot of bad things going on in the world, but there is also a lot of good. We need to focus more on the good.”My name's Walter. I'm 69. I'm the night custodian at Lincoln Middle School. Been mopping these halls for 11 years. Most folks don't even know my name. I'm just "the janitor guy' who empties trash and fixes broken lockers.But I notice things. Like locker 247, every morning, I'd find food wrappers stuffed in the vents. Candy bars, chip bags, cracker boxes. At first, I thought it was just messy kids. Then I realized someone was hiding food.One night, I stayed late. Around 8 p.m., I heard the side door creak. A girl, maybe 13, sneaked in with a backpack. Went straight to locker 247, stuffed it with grocery bags, then left quickly.The next morning, the food was gone.I didn't report it. Instead, I watched. For two weeks, the same pattern. She'd stock it at night. By morning, empty.Finally, I left a note in the locker, "You're not in trouble. I just want to help. -Walter, the custodian."The next night, she came to my supply closet. Terrified. "Please don't tell anyone," she begged. Her name was Sarah. She'd been sneaking food to three younger kids, brothers whose dad worked double shifts and forgot to buy groceries. "They're too embarrassed to ask anyone," she whispered. "So I use my lunch money and... borrow from my mom's pantry."My heart shattered."What if," I said slowly, "locker 247 just... had food in it? And nobody asked questions?"Her eyes went wide.I started small. Spent $30 of my paycheck on peanut butter, bread, juice boxes. Left it in the locker overnight. By morning, gone. So I added more. Granola bars. Apples. Crackers.Then something unexpected, I found money taped inside the locker door. $5 and a note, "I'm a teacher. I know what you're doing. Here's for more food."Then $20 from someone else. "My kid graduated from Lincoln. This school saved him. Keep going."Within a month, other staff knew. The nurse donated. The librarian brought canned soup. The gym teacher left his Costco card. "Buy in bulk," he said. "I'll cover it."Locker 247 became legendary. But quiet. No announcements. No assemblies. Just... there. A place where hungry kids could take what they needed without shame.Sarah graduated last year. Came back to see me during finals week. "Walter, I'm studying social work now," she said. "Because of you. You taught me something. Hunger hides in plain sight. But so does kindness."She handed me a photo. Locker 247, but at a different school. Across town. "My college volunteer project," she smiled. "We're putting them everywhere."I cried in my supply closet that night. Sixty-nine years old, crying over a locker.Now? Seventeen schools in our county have them. They call it "The 247 Project." Stock the locker. Ask no questions. Feed the invisible kids.I'm just a janitor. I mop floors and unclog toilets. But I learned this: Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is notice. And then quietly make space for dignity.So look around. At school, work, your neighborhood. Someone's hiding their hunger. Their struggle. Their shame.Leave something behind. Food, money, hope.Locker 247 isn't just metal and paint. It's proof that caring doesn't need permission. Just action.And it starts with seeing what everyone else walks past."Let this story reach more hearts....Please follow us: AstonishingBy Mary Nelson The Death Row DonorAt County General Hospital, 6-year-old Maya's kidneys were failing. Nine months on the transplant list, and her rare blood type meant no matches. Her tiny body was shutting down.Two hundred miles away, Marcus—a number, not a name anymore—sat in a Death Row cell. Twenty years he'd been there, waiting for an execution date for a crime that destroyed lives, including his own.In his cell, he kept one possession: a faded photo of his daughter, who died at six from sudden illness. That was 25 years ago, before everything fell apart.When the prison chaplain mentioned a public plea for Maya's rare blood type, Marcus recognized it immediately—the same type he and his daughter shared. He volunteered for testing, knowing it wouldn't change his fate. The prison board suspected manipulation. The media called it a publicity stunt.He was a perfect match.After brutal legal battles, officials approved the donation as his "final act." Yesterday, handcuffed and flanked by guards in his green jumpsuit, they brought him to meet Maya before surgery.The little girl, told only that this man was "her helper," looked up at him with those wide, trusting eyes. "I want to give him a hug," she whispered."Ma'am, that's not—" a guard started, hand moving toward his weapon.But Maya, despite her weakness, slid off the bed and wrapped her arms around the kneeling inmate's neck.Marcus, untouched by kindness for two decades, closed his eyes. His cuffed hands rose gently to hold her back."You don't gotta thank me, little one," he said, voice breaking. "Just get better, alright?”Follow Us ℕ

The job doesn't wait for your feelings to catch up. That's why we unpack a clear, practical way to stay steady under pressure—using Stoicism as a daily tool for safer shifts, better decisions, and a healthier mind. We get honest about chaos on the unit, the pull to react fast, and how a few disciplined choices turn tension into control.We break down the dichotomy of control for correctional work: you can't dictate inmate choices, staffing levels, or last-minute OT, but you can own your tone, readiness, professionalism, and tactical patience. We explore emotional regulation without suppression, the real difference between responding and reacting, and how firm, fair, and consistent behavior lowers risk and builds trust. You'll hear why cynicism grows behind the walls, how it erodes judgment, and the Stoic virtues—wisdom, courage, justice, temperance—that keep bitterness from becoming your baseline.Leadership matters even more when the stakes climb. We look at humility versus ego, setting culture, keeping communication open, and using a Stoic pause before big decisions. We also tackle moral injury: enforcing policies you don't support, witnessing violence, and carrying stories the public never sees. Stoicism helps separate what's yours to control from what isn't, so you can act with integrity inside your lane and protect your mental health over the long haul.If you want tools you can use on the next shift—reflection prompts, de-escalation habits, and mindset resets—this conversation delivers a field-tested playbook. Listen, share it with a teammate, and tell us one thing you'll choose to control today.

Florida is set to execute its record breaking 17th inmate of the year. And while the guilt of 63-year-old Richard Barry Randolph is not in question, the method by which he will die tonight is, according to his attorneys. Randolph suffers from Lupus and believes dying by lethal injection will be cruel and unusual given his condition, which his lawyers claim will amplify any sensation of pain. He’s been on death row for more than 3 decades now for the rape and brutal murder of his former coworker, and even though his death sentence had a far from unanimous jury decision, he has officially exhausted all of his appeals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former MDC inmate Raymond Castillo breaks his silence about living in the same unit as Sean “Diddy” Combs inside MDC Brooklyn. He reveals what really went on behind bars: from the shocking knife incident over a chair (we get the real story), to how Diddy's business and leadership class brought Bloods, Crips, MS-13, and inmates of every race into one room. Castillo describes how the hip-hop mogul walked in circles praying, taught entrepreneurship and faith, and helped him turn his life around in this shocking interview.Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAF--Vk74H4*We tried our best to edit the background noise that occurs in the first 2-3 minutes of the interview, thank you for your patience* Hosted on Acast.

Leadership in corrections doesn't come from a badge or title—it emerges from integrity, trust, and the willingness to shield your team during difficult times. Matthew Hyde, leadership strategist and author of "From Rookie to Rank," shares his remarkable journey from new correctional officer to CERT Commander without formal rank.Matthew's story begins with an unexpected path into corrections after brief experiences in college and the National Guard. Within six months of starting at a county jail, he was selected as a Field Training Officer, discovering his natural talent for developing others. The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Matthew discusses becoming the first non-ranking CERT Commander in his department's 25-year history. Rather than attempting to assert dominance over higher-ranking team members, he built trust by acknowledging their experience and seeking their input. "I established that when you walk into the CERT locker room, there is no rank—we're just positions," he explains, detailing how this approach eventually earned him respect across generational divides.Perhaps most valuable are Matthew's insights on leading through organizational challenges. He candidly shares his experience protecting his team during difficult administrations, emphasizing that when leadership falters from above, frontline supervisors must continue shielding their staff. "You still got to lead. Your people depend on you," he insists, offering practical wisdom for navigating politics while maintaining operational excellence.Whether you're aspiring to move up the ranks or seeking to improve your leadership effectiveness where you stand, this conversation delivers actionable strategies for building high-performance correctional teams.

Would you do something you know is wrong but you're doing it to help someone in need?

Reports surfaced this week that Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly woke up in his Brooklyn jail cell with a knife pressed against his throat, a claim first made by one of his longtime friends, Charlucci Finney. According to Finney, the mogul was asleep when another inmate entered his cell and held a sharpened object to his neck before a correctional officer intervened just in time. Finney said the incident wasn't random—he believes it was a message, “an act of intimidation,” meant to send a warning rather than kill. Though Diddy reportedly escaped unharmed, the story immediately spread across outlets like Page Six, The Blast, and HotNewHipHop, stirring speculation about the circumstances and the level of protection—or lack thereof—afforded to such a high-profile inmate.toc ontact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean 'Diddy' Combs 'woke up with a knife to his throat' in prison attack, friend claims

Calling from a prison phone in Nebraska, Nicholas Ely joined his wife, Julie Montpetit, for an episode of Montpetit's podcast, “More Than an Inmate's Girlfriend,” which aims to destigmatize relationships like theirs. Afterwards, Montpetit lost all contact with her husband. Now, Ely is suing several employees in the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services, alleging that he has faced unlawful retaliation for appearing on the podcast and that his constitutional rights, including his right to free speech, were violated. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, host Mansa Musa speaks with Montpetit about losing contact with her husband and about the status of his lawsuit. Additional Links/Resources: Sarah Gentzler, Flatwater Free Press, "A Nebraska inmate went on his girlfriend's podcast.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports a former New York state prison guard is found guilty in the death of inmate while two others are acquitted.

In this episode, Guy interviewed Sunny Jacobs, who was wrongly convicted of murder at age 27 and spent 17 years in prison, including five years on death row in solitary confinement. Sunny described the circumstances of her wrongful conviction, the trauma her family endured, and the flawed justice system that led to her death sentence. She shared how yoga, meditation, and prayer became her lifelines, helping her survive the psychological torment of isolation and maintain hope. Sunny explained her journey toward healing and forgiveness, emphasizing the importance of choice, resilience, and compassion even in the darkest moments. After her release, Sunny faced the challenges of reentering society, reconnecting with her children, and building a new life, eventually dedicating herself to helping others who were wrongfully convicted. The conversation closed with reflections on the power of hope, the need for systemic change, and Sunny's message of love, healing, and the importance of surrounding oneself with positive people. About Sunny: The Sunny Center Foundation is a non-profit organization that helps people who have suffered the injustice of wrongful conviction, giving them support after they have been exonerated and released from prison. It was established by Sunny Jacobs and Peter Pringle, both of whom were sentenced to death for crimes they did not commit. Sunny was released in 1992 after spending 17 years incarcerated in Florida, and Peter in Ireland in 1995 after 15 years in prison. They met in 1998, fell in love, got married and became part of each other's path to healing and happiness, using the practices of yoga, meditation and prayer – the same methods that each of them had used in prison to help them survive their ordeal. In 2012 they began welcoming exonerees into their home. In 2014, the foundation was established and they were able to extend their assistance more broadly, using a unique holistic approach encompassing physical, mental and spiritual healing and ongoing support. In 2018 they opened The Sunny Living Center, a housing complex in Tampa, Florida for exonerees. In 2020, their mission expanded to helping families and others who've been affected by the injustice of wrongful conviction as well as extending their healing techniques to the general public.

I saw a man once walk out of the Missouri State Penitentiary after three decades with a few dollars and no plan. I  remember that moment—and this is why I am glad Missouri has set out to build something better. Come behind the scenes with us at the MCA/MPPOA fall conference for a candid tour of what's actually working: “soft handoffs” between institutions and field teams, mental health continuity that doesn't collapse on day one, and an immersive training academy built inside a retrofitted prison that turns rookies into capable, confident officers.We sit down with probation and parole pros and they show how ORAS‑driven case plans tackle real barriers—transportation, IDs, phones, and family support—before release. Their ICTS success stories are honest and hard‑earned: late‑night ER advocacy, field pickups when groups are missed, and quiet graduations that mean someone's eight months sober and off supervision for good. Then we head to Cameron, where the Academy for Excellence in Corrections blends daily defensive tactics, cohort rotations, and hands‑on modules in a dedicated training unit filled with authentic property and safe contraband. It's a modern cadence that builds muscle memory, policy fluency, and the kind of calm that keeps staff safer—and staying longer.We also open the notebook on today's threat landscape. A gang SME explains why hybrid gangs and flexible alliances now drive Missouri's dynamics, why word choice can keep a conversation alive, and how intel shared through the Midwest Gang Investigators Association makes patrol, probation, and custody safer. From motorcycle club rivalries to cross‑agency networking, the theme is collaboration—because corrections holds long‑term insights that street partners need, and training only sticks when it's tethered to the worksite.If you care about reentry that lasts, training that works, and safetySend us a text PepperBallFrom crowd control to cell extractions, the PepperBall system is the safe, non-lethal option.OMNIOMNI is cutting-edge software designed to track inmates and assets within your prison or jail.

The state of Texas is set to execute 58-year-old Robert Roberson next week, but his attorneys have filed a last minute request for a new trial based on a recent Dateline podcast. Roberson would be the first person to ever be put to death for shaken baby syndrome, following the 2002 death of his 2 year old daughter Nikki. The science he was convicted on is no longer regarded and is considered “junk science.” That information alone brought lawmakers from both sides of the aisle to intervene last year, to stay his execution, but that stay is up and Roberson time is up. Now, baby Nikki’s maternal grandfather is speaking up, telling a story, if true, of egregious conduct by the judge in this case from the hospital where Nikki died, all the way to the courtroom he presided over in Roberson’s trial.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After an inmate sucker-punches James Sexton, he defies the jail's unwritten rules by failing to exact violent retribution, and finds himself ostracized by his peers. But he becomes an expert in the antiquated jail computer system and eventually wins promotion to an elite jail-intelligence unit. Leah Marx has a cell phone smuggled to inmate-informant Anthony Brown, part of the FBI's increasingly ambitious scheme to catch dirty jailers. Jailers quickly discover the phone, however, and trace it to the FBI. Scrambling to hide Brown from the feds, the department enlists Sexton, who helps change Brown's name in the computer system and dubs the plan Operation Pandora's Box. For 18 days, from August-Sept. 2011, Marx struggles to find her informant.The effort to erase Anthony Brown from jail records showed how far leaders would go to shield themselves. A young deputy became central to the cover-up, and what began as a contraband phone case quickly spiraled into an obstruction probe. Reporter Chris Goffard, who previously told the story of Dirty John, guides listeners through this extraordinary clash between the Sheriff's Department and the FBI.
