Howard Robertson had every reason to go down the wrong path. His parents died. His siblings were in the streets. But instead of following them he chose corrections — and over a 22 year career from the late 1970s to the early 2000s he rose from correctional officer to captain to deputy warden to warden of Rikers Island — the largest and most violent jail in America. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Howard pulls back the curtain on everything — from his brutal upbringing to what made him choose corrections to what Rikers Island looked like from the inside during its most violent era to the notorious inmates he encountered to how programs reduced violence to how politicians destroyed what it could have been to the problems with closing it and what the future of Rikers Island really looks like. _____________________________________________ #rikersisland #jail #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to FACTOR & GLD for sponsoring this episode: Factor: Head to http://factormeals.com/lockedin50off and use code lockedin50off to get 50 percent off and free daily greens per box, with new subscription only, while supplies last until 09/27/2026.

Cultural practices of smoking vary globally, from fish to meats. The science of smoking involves compounds that enhance flavor and preservation. Hot smoking cooks food while cold smoking requires careful temperature control. Different smoking setups range from simple DIY to advanced electric smokers. Safety is crucial, especially with cold smoking to prevent bacterial growth. Wild foods like fish and game benefit greatly from smoking techniques. Smoking transforms food, enhancing its flavor and richness. Liquid smoke offers a convenient alternative but should be used sparingly. Understanding the history and methods of smoking can enhance culinary experiences. Liquid smoke can be recreated with simple tools. Combining smoking with other preservation methods yields better results. Too much smoke can lead to bitter flavors; a thin stream is ideal. Temperature control is crucial for successful smoking. Wild game requires different smoking techniques than domestic meats. Seasoning is essential; smoke adds flavor but is not a substitute. Overcrowding the smoker can lead to uneven cooking. Quality of wood affects the flavor of smoked food. Hot smoking is an accessible entry point for beginners. Smoking can be a communal and enjoyable experience.

A Clare healthcare campaigner claims giving more ambulances to this county will only lead to more congestion and overcrowding at University Hospital Limerick. The National Ambulance Service has confirmed the addition of five extra ambulances and 27 staff to its services here. Data from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation meanwhile shows 121 admitted patients were waiting for beds at the Dooradoyle facility this morning which was more than double the next busiest facility; St Vincent's Hospital in Dublin. Kilrush-based Friends of Ennis Hospital PRO Deirdre Culligan says the newly-allocated resources are welcome but don't get to the heart of the issue.

Overcrowding, inadequate food provision, lack of private space and restricted family life are systemic issues with accommodation being provided to asylum seekers. That's according to new research from migrants' right organization Doras, whose CEO John Lannon spoke to Anton this morning.

A Clare TD has slammed comments by the Health Minister praising a marginal reduction in trolley numbers over the St Brigid's weekend According to the HSE's Trolleygar report, there were 25% fewer patients waiting on trolleys at 8am after the Bank Holiday weekend, compared to same period last year. However, figures from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation show University Hospital Limerick was actually more overcrowded this year, with 118 patients without a bed, even with the opening of the new 96 bed block. Shannon Sinn Féin Deputy Donna McGettigan has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan the Government should focus on action not back patting.

A campaign group is calling on the HSE to purchase lands suitable for the development of a new hospital in Ennis this month. It follows the publication of a new report by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Association which shows 1,991 patients were treated on trolleys in the region's main hospital in January. Although this is a reduction of 11% from January 2024, University Hospital Limerick has remained the most overcrowded facility since the opening of the first 96-bed block. Friends of Ennis Hospital Chairperson Angela Coll says the feeling of urgency to deliver a new hospital will diminish over the summer when trolley numbers inevitably decline.

National data shows overcrowding in U.S. hospitals has reached crisis levels, with roughly 90% of large hospital emergency departments operating at or above capacity. Here in Connecticut, we are consistently seeing this problem at most of our hospitals.

It's claimed hospital overcrowding is contributing to dwindling blood supplies in the MidWest. The Irish Blood Transfusion Service is holding a clinic at the West County Hotel in Ennis from 4.50pm until 8.10pm this evening. At the beginning of this week, the IBTS delivered more blood to local hospitals than any other day in its history. Broadford based Donor Recruitment Executive Alex O'Connor says the level of pressure on the healthcare system is telling.

The Midwest Hospital Campaign has hit out at comments from the Health Minister suggesting University Hospital Limerick is managing overcrowding well. Speaking in relation to the winter surge in hospital presentations nationwide, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill has claimed some facilities are "managing patient flow" better than others, and has singled out Cork and Galway as having "consistent pressures". She also said UHL's process isn't something she "could really ever criticise" and that the hospital is "doing so well" while admitting there remains a "bed capacity issue". Midwest Hospital Campaign co-founder Hilary Tonge believes the minister is out of touch with the reality on the ground in this region.

Beyond The Bars is a series of stories, as told by a former inmate, highlighting one of failures of mass incarceration - prison gangs.  Stories he wasn't able to share - until now - an eye opening, riveting peek behind the razor wire.  Part 1 is now available.Overcrowding, inadequate management of prisons, and lack of resources (nationwide) creates an environment where the "convict code" (informal rules for survival) is insufficient for safety. Where lack of effective rehabilitation, social isolation, and influence can take hold of people entering the prison system causing them to focus on in-prison survival rather than self-improvement. When people are thrown away to fend for themselves, without institutional support, they're forced to find ways to survive, and unfortunately gangs are there to fill that void. This series is about navigating and avoiding prison gang culture, and survival. You can read more about Bobby and prison reform on our website:   notesfromthepen.com  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notesfromthepen9604Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CJYuOh4pKxa/?igshid=y8lo9kbdifvq   TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bobbyb.l.a.c.k1X: https://twitter.com/NotesFromThePenBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/notesfromthepen.bsky.socialIntro and Outro music created just for Notes From The Pen by PJ Trofibio and Jeff Quintero and used with permission.  

Animal shelters in the St. Louis region are facing unprecedented overcrowding as the number of surrendered and abandoned pets continues to grow. The Center for Animal Rescue and Enrichment of St. Louis reported a 64% increase in the amount of animals taken in between 2023 and 2024, and shelter staff are currently struggling to take care of more than 100 dogs in a facility that has capacity for 61. Unfortunately, they're not alone in their struggle. Leaders with CARE-STL, Gateway Pet Guardians in East St. Louis, and St. Louis County Pet Adoption Center share the reasons behind the crisis and what residents and lawmakers can do to help.

The Mansfield Reformatory in Ohio wasn't meant to be just another prison. It was built like a castle, a grand gothic structure that looked more like a church than a jail.The big idea was to reform young men — give them a trade, some moral guidance, and send them back into the world as better citizens.But, what started as a shining vision of redemption turned into something very different. Overcrowding, brutality, desperate suicides and cruel punishments twisted the dream into a nightmare. Behind those walls, men lost their minds, their lives, and some say, their souls.From tragic deaths and dark legends to the ghostly echoes that still linger in the cell blocks, Mansfield is now known as one of the most haunted places in America. Join us on this episode of the True Hauntings Podcast as we take you inside the castle that promised salvation but delivered only suffering.
