Podcasts about The Inmates

Mina Corpuz with Mississippi Today and Daja E. Henry with The Marshall Project review their deep-dive reporting into suicides in Mississippi's prisons. Inmates -- including those known to pose harm to themselves -- are often locked away in solitary confinement without adequate checks on their wellbeing. The reporters looked at a decade's worth of data and tell harrowing stories through the eyes of family members and inmates. The project was a partnership between Mississippi Today, The Marshall Project and the Clarion Ledger.

John is joined by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who explains why he is strongly opposed to clemency for Kansas death row inmates, and is urging Governor Laura Kelly to reject those requests and uphold the jury verdicts.

Physicians and former prisoners want inmates to have access to continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps and better diabetes education while incarcerated.

We need to talk about the "creator economy" and the stylish influencers pushing disinformation and misinformation directly into our feeds. The more glossy you are, the more attention you get–and attention is the new currency. That is the same ethos of the princess-haired women swanning around Mar-a-Lago. It's a deliberate dumbing down of society. When gloss replaces the time-intensive grind of investigative journalism, the autocrats and oligarchs who push this strategy distract and confuse us, and ensure important voices who can't win a Sephora Hunger Games get shut out.  In this week's bonus show, Gaslit Nation also covers the chilling expansion of America's police state, focusing on the horrifying conditions at the Delaney detention center in New Jersey. Inmates are on hunger strike to demand basic human rights, mirroring the brutal history of political prisoners under Stalin's regime. We must raise our voices, pressure our elected officials (like Governor Mikie Sherrill), and refuse to look away. Do not let the Mar-a-Lago face creator economy and the attention-hungry gatekeepers confuse and wear you down. Stay grounded in your moral force and amplify the truth.

Dr. Becky Fenton started her career as a psychologist at Sing Sing Correctional Facility before being recruited to Rikers Island to supervise its psychiatric division — one of the largest and most challenging mental health systems in the country. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Becky breaks down what it was really like working inside one of America's most notorious jail systems from the other side of the cell door. She opens up about the violence and instability inside Rikers, the trauma on both sides of the system, her role in implementing Crisis Intervention Training for mental health emergencies, and what it takes to stay grounded when the environment around you is anything but. _____________________________________________ #RikersIsland #PrisonPsychology #TrueCrime _____________________________________________ Connect with Dr Becky Fenton: https://www.longislandpsychologyandconsulting.com/ 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 From Prison Psychologist to Private Practice — Her Story 01:48 The Early Influences and Personality That Led Her to This Work 03:37 The Education and Career Shift Nobody Expected 06:00 How She Ended Up as a Psychologist Inside Prison 08:49 Sing Sing vs Rikers Island — The Differences Nobody Talks About 11:16 Mental Health Inside Prison vs Mental Health in Hospitals — The Reality Gap 14:24 When Security and Mental Health Priorities Collide — Who Wins 18:18 Safety Violence and What It Really Takes to Advocate for Staff 20:59 How Trauma Shapes Inmate Behavior — What Most People Get Wrong 24:15 Vicarious Trauma — What Working in Prison Does to the Staff 27:15 Crisis Intervention and Deescalation — What Actually Works Behind Bars 32:33 What a Typical Day Really Looks Like Working at Rikers Island 36:31 Suicide Watch and What Inmate Care Actually Involves 39:12 Male vs Female Jails — The Shocking Differences Nobody Discusses 44:01 A Complete Day Inside Rikers Island — Hour by Hour Reality 47:20 What Destroys New Staff and How to Survive the First Year 53:01 The Truth About Solitary Confinement — What the Research Actually Shows 56:01 Rehabilitation vs Punishment — Which One Actually Works 01:00:41 Medication Management and What Happens to Inmates at Discharge 01:03:41 The Non Clinical Duties Nobody Warns You About in Federal Systems 01:06:50 How She Switched Off After Working in One of the World's Most Stressful Environments 01:10:14 The Programs and Therapy Practices That Actually Make a Difference 01:13:11 Why She Finally Left Rikers Island — The Real Reason 01:16:12 Private Practice and Why She Still Advocates for Prison Reform 01:19:01 What She Would Tell Her Younger Self — Final Thoughts _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

THE TESTAMENTS – “Marat Sade” – As Daisy steps into a new role, she considers what she's willing to lose to help her friends. (Disney/Russ Martin)CHASE INFINITI The shortest episode of the season, but maybe the most layered. Right off the bat, Caroline and Paul dissect this episode’s name and what its use may imply. Some hints: it’s actually a derivation of a much longer name – The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade, and it involves the French Revolution, an asylum, the Marquis de Sade, and the murder of a revolutionary. Go check out the Wikipedia entry for the movie based on the play here or about the play itself here. This is our favorite kind of episode to take apart and discuss all of the different parts that make it stand out. The deep title, the visual motifs, the foreshadowing – this episode had a LOT for the viewers to chew on and in one of the longest podcasts of this series so far, Paul and Caroline certainly have full… mouths? I’m not sure that metaphor works. We would never physically chew into the microphone during a podcast. I just mean to say that the podcast is dense this week.

Jorge Polanco started his career inside one of the most notorious jail systems in America — Rikers Island.

We continue our series on international language films this week (#speakingintongues) with a Spanish film that gained significant attention on Netflix a few years ago for its inventive premise and sharp social commentary. THE PLATFORM has a unique and inventive premise. Prisoners are paired on floors of a prison where every day, a platform filled with food descends from the top floor to the bottom. Inmates on the upper floors have plenty to eat, but as each successive floor stuff their face to its filling, the lower floors are left with little more than broken glass and silverware. But when an inmate named Goreng (Ivan Massagué) decides that this system needs to be broken from the inside, a harrowing mission presents itself.We're joined by friends of the show Andrew Vogel and Suzann Petrongolo, whose independent film HERMAN was featured in our interview series. Together we discuss this film's specific take on human nature and the systems which are constructed to literally pit us against one another.Also featuring a Patron-only segment discussing DARK, Season 3, episode 4 with Gorey Gamer Matt Murray, this is a thoughtful and vibrant conversation that we really hope you enjoy.6:24 - Two Questions with Suzann PetrongoloPatron Only Segment: DARK, Season 3, Episode 416:35 - Checking in on HERMAN23:48 - THE PLATFORMSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

 How does Texas decide where inmates are housed in correctional facilities? The state uses a detailed classification system that looks at safety risks, behavior, and medical or mental health needs to place people in the least restrictive setting possible without compromising security. Because assignments are based on documented facts—not bias—they can change over time to help keep facilities safe, fair, and consistent. 

 What happens after someone leaves prison in Idaho? The state begins reentry planning early, using education, Community Reentry Centers, and specialized support staff to help individuals find housing, jobs, and stability after release. Idaho's long-term approach focuses on lowering repeat offenses while building safer, healthier communities. 

Richard Allen walked into Westville Correctional Facility weighing 180 pounds. By April 2023, he weighed 135 pounds. He had been in solitary confinement the entire time. He was not under sentence. He had not yet been to trial. He was a pretrial detainee in a maximum-security prison's most restrictive housing — and the documented evidence is that he was losing his mind.He tore up his legal mail. He drank from the toilet. He ate his Bible. He hit his head against the cell door. He asked his own father, on a phone call, how much longer he could stay lucid. And then he confessed to the Delphi murders.The Indiana Department of Correction has a written policy. Inmates with serious mental illness — and Allen had a documented diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder before he ever arrived at Westville — cannot be held in solitary for more than 30 days. Richard Allen was held there for 13 months. The Indiana Attorney General is now asking three judges at the Court of Appeals to call all of that constitutionally fine.Defense attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski for Part Two of a three-part panel on the Richard Allen appeal. They walk through what the documented decline at Westville actually looked like in real time. They examine the religious-conversion theory the State has offered to explain why Allen confessed, and they put it next to the contemporaneous behavioral record. They get into the jailhouse calls — one heard by the jury, two excluded — and what selective admission of evidence around a confession does to the voluntariness question three judges now have to answer.The State broke its own rule by more than twelve months. Three judges are reading.LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ever since Ghislaine Maxwell was moved from a higher-security facility in Tallahassee to the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas, whispers of special privileges have swirled. Inmates and prison consultants say she's getting “hotel-guest treatment”—meals delivered to her cell, private visits in the chapel while others are locked down, solo yard time, and generally softer security protocols. Her arrival reportedly triggered more frequent lockdowns, added armed guards, and even a facility “cleanup” beforehand, which many see as signs she's not being treated like a typical prisoner.Experts and former corrections officials call the move deeply unusual. Maxwell, convicted of aiding Epstein's trafficking of minors and serving a 20-year sentence, typically wouldn't qualify for camp status at all—especially with her “public safety factor” as a sex offender. The fact that she was allowed into a prison known for lax fences, dormitory housing, and relatively lenient conditions is fueling suspicion that her cooperation with federal prosecutors (including interviews about Epstein's network) earned her perks. Critics argue this undermines both justice for survivors and public trust in the prison system.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell granted unusual privileges at minimum-security prison | Fox News

Every month across the country in federal prisons, inmates get together for bookclubs. It may not look like the typical club, but the connection, community and stimulation are all there. It's a program that's been running for almost 20 years. Tom Best, the Executive Director of Bookclubs for Inmates, drops by to talk about the program and Antonio Michael's experience as a guest author. Plus, Bridget Raymundo recommends a staff pick and explains its mysterious tie to Heated Rivalry.

The cases of Jeffrey Epstein, R. Kelly, and Sean "Diddy" Combs, while involving different individuals, share several thematic similarities that center around allegations of sexual misconduct, abuse of power, and exploitation. Below is a comparison based on these common factors:1. Allegations of Sexual Abuse and MisconductJeffrey Epstein: Epstein was charged with running a sex trafficking ring that exploited underage girls, some as young as 14. He used his wealth and influence to recruit vulnerable minors for sexual exploitation over many years.R. Kelly: The R&B singer was convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking, including charges of sexually abusing minors. He operated a scheme where young women and underage girls were lured into abusive situations, often under false pretenses of career opportunities.Sean "Diddy" Combs: Combs is facing a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault, battery, and abuse over an extended period. The case includes claims that he exploited his influence and power in the entertainment industry to manipulate and control women, though his case lacks the widespread scope of trafficking networks seen in Epstein and R. Kelly's cases.2. Exploitation of Power and InfluenceEpstein: A financier with connections to high-profile political and business elites, Epstein used his wealth, private islands, and powerful network to hide and perpetuate his crimes for years. His connections gave him a shield from scrutiny until his arrest and subsequent death in 2019.R. Kelly: Kelly leveraged his fame and success in the music industry to recruit victims, often promising to mentor them or help their careers. He maintained control over these women through psychological, emotional, and sometimes physical abuse.Combs: As a music mogul and media figure, Combs had considerable influence in the industry, which his accusers claim he used to exploit and manipulate victims. His power dynamic is similar to Kelly's in terms of being a gatekeeper for opportunities in entertainment, making it harder for accusers to speak out without fearing career consequences.3. Systematic Abuse and ControlEpstein: The Epstein case revealed a systematic approach to exploiting young girls, involving an intricate network of recruiters, enablers, and blackmail material used to silence victims. His case exposed a broad system of grooming, blackmail, and exploitation.R. Kelly: Kelly was accused of running an organized, cult-like system where he isolated women, controlled every aspect of their lives, and manipulated them through threats and abuse. His use of enablers to maintain control over his victims parallels Epstein's methods.Combs: While the extent of systematic abuse in Combs' case is still unfolding, the accusations point to a long-term pattern of controlling behavior, manipulation, and sexual misconduct.4. Public Perception and Legal OutcomesEpstein: Epstein's case sparked global outrage, especially after his death in jail under suspicious circumstances, which many believe was tied to the influential figures he associated with. His death left many questions unanswered and led to ongoing legal actions against his associates.R. Kelly: Kelly was convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison after decades of allegations. His case was marked by long-standing public scrutiny, especially after the "Surviving R. Kelly" documentary brought renewed attention to his abuses.Combs: The legal proceedings against Combs are more recent, and his case is still developing. While he denies the allegations, the case has ignited discussions around abuse in the music industry similar to what followed Kelly's trial.5. Cultural Impact and Public DiscourseAll three cases highlight the abuse of power by wealthy and influential men in positions of authority. Epstein and R. Kelly's cases became focal points for larger conversations around sexual trafficking, abuse in the entertainment industry, and the legal system's failures to protect vulnerable individuals.Combs' case, still in its early stages, may follow a similar trajectory, as more details emerge and public discourse continues around abuse in the music industry.In summary, the similarities between these cases lie in the alleged exploitation of power and influence, systematic abuse, and the use of enablers or networks to perpetuate crimes over extended periods. Each case reveals broader societal issues around accountability, celebrity culture, and the treatment of victims in the justice system.(commercial at 8:55to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean Combs' Case Compared to R. Kelly, Jeffrey Epstein: 'Diddy Is Screwed' - NewsweekThe Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn has a notorious history of poor conditions and systemic issues. Over the years, it has faced numerous scandals, particularly involving staffing shortages, violence, and substandard living conditions. Inmates have reported being locked down for over 22 hours a day, with little access to showers, phone calls, or exercise. The facility often experiences long-term lockdowns due to violent incidents, such as a murder in June 2024. The chronic understaffing exacerbates these problems, with correctional officers frequently overworked and unable to adequately manage the facility.Judges have become increasingly critical of the conditions at MDC. In recent rulings, federal judges have even refused to send defendants to the facility, citing "barbaric" conditions that border on cruel and unusual punishment. One judge described the jail as being in a state of "near-perpetual lockdown" due to staffing shortages and widespread contraband, including drugs and weapons.Despite promises from the Bureau of Prisons to address these issues, improvements have been minimal, and MDC remains a symbol of the challenges facing federal detention centers,This is the place that Diddy will now call home for the forseeable future.   (commercial at 10:49)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmaill.comsource:Sean Combs' new home — a notorious federal jail — has a ‘way of breaking people,' lawyers say (nbcnews.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

After Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Federal Bureau of Prisons facility in Manhattan on August 10, 2019, several inmates and former inmates voiced serious doubts about the official narrative of suicide. One inmate who had previously been housed in the exact cell claimed that the architectural layout made a hanging suicide physically improbable—he cited lack of ceiling fixtures, low bunks, and other structural barriers. Others pointed to the absence of a cellmate, malfunctioning cameras, and alleged lapses in guard monitoring as factors that undermined the “alone in the cell” story.These inmate observations fuel persistent skepticism and speculation around Epstein's death. Their accounts intertwine with documented failures by prison staff—such as broken cameras and falsified check logs—and with broader concerns that the system allowed, or even facilitated, a scenario where a high-profile detainee died under murky circumstances. Together, these statements from inside the prison ecosystem continue to drive debate over whether the official determination of suicide reflects the full reality of what happened that night.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The Department of Justice's Office of the Inspector General conducted an unannounced inspection of the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Tallahassee, a low-security women's federal prison in Florida, and found alarming and serious operational deficiencies that raise questions about inmate safety, basic hygiene, and institutional competence. Inspectors documented rotting and unsanitary food storage, including moldy bread and insect-infested cereal, rodent droppings, and refrigerators containing spoiled vegetables, conditions that violated Federal Bureau of Prisons policies and posed clear health hazards to those incarcerated there. They also found chronic infrastructure decay, with frequent water leaks so severe that inmates resorted to using sanitary products to block drips, damaged ceilings and walls, worn bedding, inoperable showers and toilets, and pervasive black substance on bathroom surfaces — all reflecting deep neglect in basic living conditions. The facility scored as “high risk” under an OIG risk assessment tool, indicating systemic rather than isolated problems.Beyond physical conditions, the OIG report highlighted staffing shortages and security weaknesses that further undermined safety and order at FCI Tallahassee. Inspectors found ineffective and delayed investigations into staff misconduct, inconsistent search procedures that fueled mistrust among inmates, and procedures that left significant blind spots in camera monitoring, increasing opportunities for contraband and undetected problems. Many misconduct investigations had languished for more than two years, and staff repeatedly misgendered transgender inmates, demonstrating disrespectful and problematic conduct. Inmates reported fear of reprisals for raising complaints, underscoring a breakdown in trust between prisoners and staff. While the report predated Maxwell's transfer and did not focus on her individually, its revelations paint a distressing picture of the facility's conditions and operational failures during the period she resided there, contributing to public concern about the environment where a high-profile prisoner was held.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – I step inside an Ohio prison where incarcerated workers build every ODOT snow plow truck. What I find is not busywork, but skilled manufacturing, responsibility, and dignity. Through Ohio Penal Industries, men gain certifications, real wages, and pride while producing lifesaving equipment. The work reduces recidivism, strengthens public safety, and proves purpose can exist even behind...
