Of the many rallies at the state Capitol on Tuesday March 4, two contrasting ones stand out. The first involved hundreds of striking correction officers and their supporters standing in front of the capitol calling for better working conditions in the state's prisons, starting with more staffing, less mandatory overtime, and the repeal of the HALT act which restricts the use of solitary confinement. While the Governor thought that a deal to end the illegal wildcat strike had been reached by March 7, including reviewing potential changes to the Halt Act, the union blocked it on the grounds that they had not been consulted. On Tuesday inside the Capitol, prison reform advocates called to enact several bills in response to the recent killings of two inmates by upstate correction officers – Robert Brooks and Messiah Nantwi. We hear from several state legislators – Assemblymembers Latrice Walker, Eddie Gibbs, and Anne Kelles, and Senator Julia Salazar. This was Mark Dunlea for the Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

In this segment, Charlie and his callers turn their attention to the financial burden of maintaining death row inmates. A discussion on the exorbitant costs of keeping someone on death row, estimated at $250,000 per year, leads to questions about where the money is going and whether these resources could be better allocated. With perspectives on the high price of justice and the apparent inefficiency in the system, the conversation highlights the often-overlooked financial implications of the death penalty and its ongoing debate in South Carolina. | https://www.audacy.com/989word | The Charlie James Show | Listen on Spotify : https://spoti.fi/3MXOvGP | Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-charlie-james-show-podcast/id1547262821 | Join our Live Stream Weekdays - 3pm to 7pm | Follow us on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/989word, Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-2031096, X: https://twitter.com/989word, Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/989word/ | Red Meat, Greenville." 03/07/25

Sean "Diddy" Combs is currently detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York, awaiting trial on charges including sex trafficking and racketeering. The MDC has faced significant criticism over the years for its poor conditions, including reports of violence, inadequate staffing, and substandard living environments. These issues have led to increased scrutiny and calls for reform within the facility.Recent reports have highlighted a concerning aspect of the MDC's infrastructure: certain areas of the facility allegedly allow male inmates to view female inmates through small holes in grates. This design flaw has raised serious privacy and security concerns, especially given the nature of the charges against Combs. The Bureau of Prisons has not publicly addressed these specific allegations, but the facility's longstanding issues have prompted federal investigations aimed at improving conditions and ensuring the safety and dignity of all inmates.(commercial at 7:50)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Air hockey, movies, phone calls and potential freak-offs for Diddy in MDC

Access to communication is a fundamental right, yet for many individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing in the prison system, it remains a significant challenge. In this discussion, Paul Lee, COO of InnoCaption, joins Shari Eberts to discuss InnoCaption Connect, a program designed to bring real-time captioned calls to incarcerated individuals.With an estimated 10% of the prison population experiencing hearing loss, traditional communication methods like TTYs or outdated landline caption phones have often left them isolated. InnoCaption is working to change that by integrating their captioning technology with secure prison telecommunications systems, ensuring that deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals can stay connected with family, access legal services, and prepare for reintegration into society.For more information on InnoCaption:https://www.innocaption.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/innocaptionappFB: https://www.facebook.com/InnoCaption/LI: https://www.linkedin.com/company/innocaption/X: https://twitter.com/innocaptionBe sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for the latest episodes each week, and follow This Week in Hearing on LinkedIn and X (formerly Twitter):https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-week-in-hearing/https://twitter.com/WeekinHearing

Relevant Radio is all about "bringing Christ to the world through the media," and that includes reaching those in prison. The Big News? Relevant Radio has teamed up with Edovo, a nonprofit that provides digital education tools in prisons, to make Catholic content accessible to over 1,100 correctional facilities across the U.S. Here’s how it works: Inmates can access Relevant Radio’s content: like Fr. Rocky’s Eucharistic Encounters and The Saints Podcast, right on secure tablets provided through Edovo. In just one month, 25,000 sessions of Relevant Radio content were accessed by inmates. Though federal prisons aren’t on board yet, there’s hope this outreach will expand even further. Why does this matter? Because everyone deserves a shot at grace, even those who’ve lost their freedom. Patrick reminds us of Matthew 25: “I was in prison, and you visited me.” Prison can be a dark, isolating place, and yet, God’s light can still break through the bars. Patrick shares a heart-touching letter from Michael, an inmate in New Jersey, who listens to Relevant Radio daily. Michael prays the Chaplet of Divine Mercy with Drew Mariani and joins in the Family Rosary Across America every evening. He even sent a handmade Christmas card to the team (with some seriously impressive cursive handwriting; Patrick was impressed!). Michael’s words say it all: “Relevant Radio has changed my life.” He and many others are finding community, hope, and a deeper relationship with Christ... right from their cells. So, next time you tune into Relevant Radio, say a prayer for those listening in the loneliest of places. Because God’s mercy knows no walls.

    Ghost finder Thomas Carnacki deals with many uncanny mysteries that defy explanation. But throughout his life, a stranger keeps appearing. Whether he is an ally or a rival remains to be seen, but one thing is certain. When the Doctor and Carnacki cross paths, death and danger are always close... The Haunter of the Shore by AK Benedict 1897. Young Carnacki investigates a case at Edgemere Manor where the skeletons of tourists are left on the shore of the lake.

But what is 'The House'? Why does everything Arkright touch transform into the same rotting furnishings and wallpaper? Can a man really be haunted by a building? The Institute of Forgotten Souls by Jonathan Barnes In the heart of England in 1936 there lies a home for wounded men. It is a strange, shadowed place, full of secrets. Terrible beasts prowl the grounds, as if guarding something dreadful.

Today we hear why Susie likes asking people uncomfortable questions without people getting offended. We learn about a technology being used to determine the contents of unopened trading card packs so the owner can decide whether to discard them or not, and whether this is an ethics violation of the tradition of collecting. Susie explains why Japan's prisons are showing a huge increase in elderly inmates, and what it says about the country in general. We debate the influencer lawsuit that is considering whether someone's vibe/aesthetic/style can be protected from "theft" (imitation), and what the ruling will do to the broader influencer industry. We discuss a lawsuit brought by the creator of an outdoor art installation who claims their contract was violated by a museum who dismantled it without consent. Plus, we hear about the new Aaron Hernendez documentary, and how the culture of his high school football team may have led him and two other players down a path of destruction.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Control Body Odor ANYWHERE with @lumedeodorant and get 15% off with promo code BRAINCANDY15 at https://lumedeodorant.com! #lumepodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Gov. Greg Gianforte is asking lawmakers for 500 additional beds at the Deer Lodge prison. With the state prison full, more inmates are being sent to private, out-of-state facilities. Montana PBS's Sam Wilson dug into the issue and spoke with MTPR's Elinor Smith.

Brian Hamilton is one of America's most successful entrepreneurs and a leading expert on entrepreneurship. Today, Hamilton serves as chairman of software company LiveSwitch. He is known for his pioneering work in fintech, his advocacy for small businesses, and his commitment to criminal justice reform. As the founder of Sageworks (now Abrigo), America's first fintech company, Hamilton developed technology that translates complex financial data, empowering millions of small business owners. Sageworks struggled and grew slowly for 10 years before pivoting to serve local banks and credit unions with financial tools to assess the creditworthiness of their small business loans. The practical SaaS company grew steadily and very profitably to more than 400 employees when it was sold in 2018.  Through Inmates to Entrepreneurs and the Brian Hamilton Foundation, he encourages entrepreneurship as a means to economic opportunity. Hamilton's work has been showcased by major media outlets like CNBC and Good Morning America, and he starred in ABC's Free Enterprise TV series, an award-winning show based on Inmates to Entrepreneurs.  Quote from Brian Hamilton, founder and former CEO of Sageworks "Being the founder of a tech company is like this: You're in a tunnel, it's dark, you're on your hands and knees, you're going through that tunnel, you're groping your way through, keep moving forward. "I know it sounds like such a BS, but we've all been there. I'm telling you, that is the picture: you're in this huge sewer tunnel, it's dark. You just gotta keep moving. Just keep chipping away. You do that, and you will get momentum somehow. "It's like compound interest. You start with a dollar and how does it turn into $10? You build momentum a little at a time. I've got to listen every day. I'm knocking off making the product better. You develop the physical property of compound interest and things will get better."

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)
