This episode is presented by Create A Video – You can tell this is a bad issue for Roy Cooper and his run for US Senate because of the massive pushback of whataboutisms from the online Left trying to distract from the fact that Cooper released thousands of criminals from prisons during the pandemic.

On the night Jeffrey Epstein died, two Bureau of Prisons guards assigned to monitor him did not simply make a minor mistake or lapse in judgment; they abandoned their most basic responsibility. Despite Epstein being on suicide watch only weeks earlier and housed in a unit that was supposed to be under heightened supervision, the guards failed to conduct required checks and instead fell asleep for hours. They later admitted to falsifying logs to make it appear they had performed their duties when they had not. This was not confusion or a misunderstanding of protocol. It was outright dereliction, compounded by dishonesty after the fact. Epstein was one of the highest-profile detainees in federal custody, a man whose death would inevitably trigger global scrutiny, and yet he was effectively left alone in a federal facility overnight. The idea that this happened by accident strains credibility. At best, it reflects staggering incompetence. At worst, it reflects a system where rules are treated as optional until disaster makes that negligence impossible to hide.The Bureau of Prisons bears even greater responsibility because the guards' behavior did not occur in a vacuum. The BOP had already stripped Epstein of his cellmate, failed to ensure functioning cameras, allowed chronic understaffing, and placed exhausted, undertrained personnel in a situation that demanded maximum vigilance. When the guards fell asleep, they were operating inside a culture of decay the BOP itself created and tolerated. Yet the response was telling: minor charges, plea deals, and a swift effort to close the books rather than confront the systemic failure head-on. No senior leadership meaningfully paid a price. No transparent accounting followed that restored public trust. Instead, the narrative was reduced to “two tired guards,” as if that explanation could possibly account for the collapse of multiple safeguards at once. What happened at MCC was not a one-off failure; it was the predictable outcome of an agency that cut corners, ignored warnings, and then acted surprised when the most catastrophic outcome imaginable occurred on its watch.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this episode, Eldra sits down with Kentric Devone McKoy for a powerful conversation about prison, emotional healing, faith, and freedom. Kendrick shares his journey from a childhood marked by abuse and suppressed emotion, through decades in the California prison system, to life after release as a truck driver, minister, and mentor. He speaks candidly about how unresolved anger followed him wherever he went and how prison became the place where he first learned to name, understand, and feel his emotions.  

In this episode, I cover the latest and most egregious examples of leftist lies, hypocrisy and manipulation, uplifting news in the war against woke, and the most embarrassing moment for a "celebrity" in recent memory.  Ryan Routh Sentenced to Life in Prison for Trump Assassination Attempt https://www.newsmax.com/us/assassin-ryan-routh-florida/2026/02/04/id/1244783/ Mass Exodus: Washington Post Cuts Hundreds of Staff in Massive Layoff https://townhall.com/tipsheet/jeff-charles/2026/02/04/washington-post-lays-off-a-third-of-its-workforce-n2670669 Vance Unloads on Top Democrat for “Openly Calling” on People to Shoot ICE Agents https://nypost.com/2026/02/03/us-news/jd-vance-explodes-at-ny-dem-rep-jerry-nadler-openly-calling-for-shooting-ice-agents/ Sponsors: Brickhouse Nutrition - https://BrickhouseNutrition.com/dan - code: dan Carshield - https://carshield.com - code: Bongino Birch Gold - Text Dan to 989898 My Patriot Supply - https://preparewithdan.com Helix Sleep - https://helixsleep.com/dan DeleteMe - https://joindeleteme.com/Bongino Learn more about your ad choices.

Steven Johnson grew up in Connecticut surrounded by instability and a rough childhood that pushed him toward the streets at a young age. As a teenager, he joined the Latin Kings and quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a chapter president before landing in Connecticut state prison. While serving time in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Steven made a decision that could have cost him his life — walking away from the gang while still incarcerated. In this episode, he shares what prison was really like during that era, how he survived the consequences of leaving the Kings behind bars, and how that choice completely changed the course of his life. After his release, Steven never looked back, building a new path rooted in discipline, accountability, and staying out of the system for good. _____________________________________________ #LatinKings #PrisonStories #GangLife #LifeAfterPrison #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeSystem #RedemptionStory #lockedin _____________________________________________ Than you to AVA & LUCY for sponsoring this episode: AVA: Take control of your credit today.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – The list of 3,500 prisoners released by former Governor Roy Cooper remains a secret - despite the revelation that the man who murdered Iryna Zarutska was on the list. It's just another example of how Cooper (now a candidate for US Senate) placates the most radical elements of the Democrat base while pretending to be a moderate.

After Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his federal detention cell on August 10, 2019, official authorities ruled his death a suicide by hanging, but the autopsy findings and circumstances leading up to his death sparked intense skepticism and criticism from forensic experts, medical analysts, and segments of the public. Independent pathologists — including Dr. Michael Baden, who was retained by Epstein's defense team — pointed to neck injuries, including fractures to the hyoid bone and other structures, that they argued are more commonly associated with homicidal strangulation than self-inflicted hanging, especially in older individuals. Critics argued that the nature and pattern of these injuries were inconsistent with the simple ligature hanging scenario described by the Bureau of Prisons, particularly in the absence of clear evidence of a suspension point or the kind of force typically required to produce such fractures in a suicide hanging. These discrepancies were seized upon by commentators and some experts as evidence that the official explanation did not fully account for the physical evidence.The controversy was magnified by the extraordinary context of Epstein's death: he was a high-profile prisoner with connections to powerful figures, and his death occurred under the supervision of a notoriously dysfunctional federal jail system, with malfunctioning cameras and poorly supervised cells. This combination of unexpected forensic findings and procedural failures led many to conclude that the injuries observed did not match the government's narrative and therefore raised questions about possible foul play, cover-ups, or at minimum gross negligence. Critics argued that the government's explanation relied on assumptions rather than a full accounting of the forensic evidence, and that the contradictions between the autopsy findings and the official story should have triggered a far more rigorous independent investigation. However, subsequent official reviews reaffirmed the suicide ruling, which only deepened distrust among skeptics who believe the physical injuries and surrounding circumstances remain unexplained by the publicly presented narrative.to contact mebobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Friends of the Rosary,The Catholic Church celebrates today, February 5th, the Memorial of St. Agatha (d. 250), a virgin and martyr who died in defense of her purity, in Catania, Sicily, after the governor of that region tried in vain to force her to consent to sin.Her name appears in the Roman Canon of the Mass, along with six more women martyrs: Saints Felicity, Perpetual, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia, and Anastasia.When asked about her faith, she said: "I am a handmaid of Christ, and that is why I bear the outward appearance of a slave; yet this is the highest nobility, to be a slave to Christ."The governor threatened her with the most dreadful tortures if she did not renounce Christ.Agatha countered: "If you threaten me with wild beasts, know that at the Name of Christ they grow tame; if you use fire, from heaven angels will drop healing dew on me.""If you do not cause my body to be torn to pieces by the hangmen, my soul cannot enter the Lord's paradise with the martyrs.”She was burned with red-hot irons and despoiled of her breasts.In the night in prison, the apostle Peter appeared to her with healing remedies."I am the apostle of Christ; distrust me not, my daughter." Agatha replied: "I have never used earthly medicines on my body. I cling to the Lord Jesus Christ, who renews all things by His word."She was miraculously healed by St. Peter: "Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, I give you praise because by Your apostle You have restored my breasts."Throughout the night, a light illumined the dungeon. When the guards fled in terror, her fellow prisoners urged her to escape, but she refused: "Having received help from the Lord, I will persevere in confessing Him who healed me and comforted me."Four days later, by order of the governor, Agatha was rolled over pieces of sharp glass and burning coals. At that moment, the whole city was rocked by a violent earthquake.Two walls collapsed, burying two of the governor's friends in the debris. Fearing a popular uprising, he ordered Agatha, half dead, to be returned to prison.Here she offered her dying prayer: "Blessed Agatha stood in the midst of the prison and with outstretched arms prayed to the Lord: O Lord Jesus Christ, good Master, I give You thanks that You granted me victory over the executioners' tortures. Grant now that I may happily dwell in Your never-ending glory." Thereupon, she died.A year after her death, the city of Catania was in great peril from an eruption on Mount Etna.Even pagans fled in terror to the saint's grave. Her veil was taken and held against the onrushing flames, and suddenly the danger ceased. Her grave is venerated in Catania, Sicily.[In the picture above: Saint Agatha Attended by Saint Peter and an Angel in Prison, painting of Alessandro Turchi in The Walters Art Museum]Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Today we look at how we can pray for the persecuted Christians in Iran, and other Muslim-majority nations, where believers are isolated and word is scarce. Hebrews 13:3 is a good reminder in these situations, as well. I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. Follow me on Twitter/X (@chinaadventures) where I share a new Chinese city or county to pray for every single day. Please send any questions or comments to our new, secure email: chinacompass@privacyport.com.

Everything else we are involved in can be found at PrayGiveGo.us! Why the Prison Pulpit? The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison.

A dangerous betrayal may be unfolding in Washington and ICE agents need to be paying close attention. Republicans appear ready to bow to Democrats as Congress now debates legislating how ICE agents are allowed to patrol. Let’s be clear. This is not the role of government. Patrols are complex, fluid, and impossible to neatly define in statute. Once politicians start writing rules for law enforcement in the field, agents are no longer protected. If an ICE agent steps outside a politically written guideline, even while doing their job, they could now face criminal charges. This is a setup, plain and simple, and it puts agents in a precarious and potentially dangerous position. We also break down a bombshell in media and culture. The proposed merger between Netflix and Warner Bros. has Republican senators sounding the alarm. If approved, this would create an unprecedented leftist propaganda superpower, capable of shaping narratives, values, and ideology on a massive scale. One look at Netflix programming already tells the story. Imagine that influence multiplied and aimed directly at American families and children. This is not just business. It is cultural indoctrination at scale.

Jeffrey Deskovic's life changed forever when he was convicted of a murder he did not commit at just 17 years old. He maintained his innocence for the next 16 years and then, with the help of the Innocence Project, the real person responsible was finally caught and Jeff was released from prison. Now you may be asking yourself, 'Hey, how is this a GOOD story?' The answer is found in what Jeff did after this all happened: He went to law school, became an attorney and founded the Deskovic Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the exoneration of the wrongfully convicted, their recovery, and reform of the system. This is one person's journey from the darkest of places to finding and creating his own light and we gotta tell ya, it doesn't get much more inspiring than this.

In May 2019, 25-year-old Courtney Herron was murdered after a night out in Melbourne’s CBD. What happened next would ignite national outrage and raise disturbing questions about justice in Australia. In this episode, Courtney’s father, John Herron, speaks about the daughter he loved deeply, her generosity, humour, and instinctive kindness, and the night she crossed paths with the man who killed her. He lays bare the failures he witnessed inside the justice and mental health systems, and explains why, as both a grieving father and a lawyer, he believes Courtney was denied justice. You can read more from John Herron in his writing for Mamamia, including his powerful open letter about Courtney’s death, here.

Send us a textA “rehabilitation” unit that looks like a labor camp, a policy that promises rest and study while people lie on foam pads after all-nighters, and a workforce that builds studios, refaces Big Blue, and even handles VIP logistics—this is the RPF as told by those who lived it. Marc and Mat pull apart Flag Order 3434RB line by line, then hold it up to the light of real conditions: black uniforms, isolation from crew, silence rules, and the RPF's RPF—punishment inside punishment. If you've ever wondered how a religious order justifies a prison within its walls, this conversation connects the policy to the practice.Mat spent 27 years in the Sea Org and served on the RPF twice, eventually running the LA unit. He describes being flown, traded, and repurposed as a “coin” to satisfy manpower demands. We walk through assignment triggers like “rock slams” on the e-meter, and the wave of faulty devices that sent dozens at a time to the program. We look at twinning—where your fate is bound to someone else's—and how transfers or escapes reset hard-won progress. And we dig into the ledger: quarter pay that sometimes became zero, weaponized reports, and meals scavenged after the main crew ate first.The episode traces major moments: the International Base construction push, the Portland Crusade where RPFers slipped into suits to run logistics and PR, and an “impossible” Christmas deadline to water blast, reglaze, and polish the vast Big Blue complex—met anyway. Along the way, we talk about minors on the RPF, family separation, security checks, and the relentless information control that keeps each base in the dark. On paper, Hubbard's policy lists rights. In practice, the system harvested labor and obedience while calling it redemption.If this story resonates, share it with someone who still wonders what really happens behind those blue walls.

Judge Brian Jackson of the U.S. District Court has certified a class action lawsuit against Angola Prison on behalf of men forced to perform punitive farm labor under unconstitutional conditions and in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Under this ruling, the court certified two specific groups: a primary class encompassing all persons currently or potentially assigned to the Louisiana State Penitentiary (LSP) Farm Line, and a specialized subclass for those with disabilities assigned to the same labor. In his findings, Judge Jackson noted that nearly every individual arriving at the facility is assigned to the Farm Line upon entry, with the majority remaining at risk of reassignment as a disciplinary measure.Guest:Samantha Pourciau is a Senior Staff Attorney at The Promise of Justice Initiative based out of New Orleans, Louisiana.Credits:Host: Mansa MusaProducer / Videographer / Post-Production: Cameron Granadino Resource links:https://promiseofjustice.org/news/incarcerated-farm-line-workers-win-class-certificationhttps://therealnews.com/prisoners-sue-over-inhumane-conditions-on-angolas-brutal-farm-linehttps://therealnews.com/prison-farms-and-agricarceral-slave-laborhttps://therealnews.com/louisiana-still-imprisons-people-convicted-by-jim-crow-juries Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

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

When a small group of incarcerated men within California's prison system decided to use their lives to uplift fellow prisoners, they launched what is known nationally as C.R.O.P., Creating Restorative Programs and Opportunities. They knew that 54% of those who are released from California prisons encounter a world they barely recognize and without adequate support and resources, will reoffend within three years. In this episode of Power Station my guest is Terah Lawyer, the extraordinary leader who, as president of CROP, is demonstrating the power of systems and culture change in real time. Terah brings her lived experience with incarceration, academic grounding and deep commitment to her community to the design and implementation of Ready 4 Life, an innovative campus-based reentry initiative that is proving to be transformative. It trains and places participants in substantive jobs with meaningful wages, provides secure housing and invests in each person's personal development, from taking accountability to honing leadership skills. Terah honors the nonprofits, formerly incarcerated leaders and champions like Gov. Newsom and the California State Legislature who are investing in the potential and humanity of those who are striving for a productive second chance. A story that needs to be heard.

The DOJ just dumped 3 million pages of Epstein files. Trump's name shows up over 1,000 times. Elon Musk wanted to know which night had the "wildest party" on Pedophile Island. The Commerce Secretary's wife RSVP'd to bring the kids to Little St. James. Steve Bannon was texting a child rapist about borrowing his plane. And the guy announcing all this? Trump's former defense attorney. You can't make this shit up. But here's the kicker: survivors got doxxed while their rapists hide behind black rectangles. Fifty percent of the files are still being withheld. And Ghislaine Maxwell remains the only person in prison. For this episode, Robin rips through the documents, names the names, and asks the questions your government hopes you're too distracted to ask. The receipts are here. The excuses are bullshit.

Non-unanimous jury verdicts were a Jim Crow–era policy designed to silence Black jurors and secure convictions even when the state failed to prove its case. In 2026, over 1,000 people remain imprisoned in Louisiana after being convicted by non-unanimous juries. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, Mansa Musa speaks with Erica Navalance, Associate Director of Strategic Criminal Litigation at the Promise of Justice Initiative, about the case of Lloyd Gray and why the state of Louisiana continues to uphold unconstitutional convictions.Guest:Erica Navalance has worked with both Capital Appeals Project and Promise of Justice Initiative (PIJ) since 2015, but joined PJI full time in 2021 as a senior staff attorney for the Strategic Defense Litigation project, focusing on combatting excessive sentences, capital punishment, and other injustices in the criminal system.Additional links/info:Richard A.

Ghislaine Maxwell complained of guard misconduct by portraying herself as a victim of mistreatment inside federal custody, repeatedly alleging that guards were improperly watching her, disrupting her sleep, and violating her privacy. She claimed that routine checks amounted to harassment, arguing that guards were deliberately making noise, shining lights, and observing her in ways she said were unnecessary and punitive. Her legal team framed these complaints as evidence of a hostile detention environment, suggesting that the Bureau of Prisons was failing to respect her dignity and rights. The thrust of her argument was that standard suicide-watch style monitoring, implemented in the shadow of Jeffrey Epstein's death, crossed the line into abuse. What Maxwell cast as misconduct, however, closely mirrored the very safeguards the BOP put in place precisely because of her proximity to one of the most notorious custodial failures in modern history.The complaints landed poorly in the court of public opinion, given the gravity of the crimes she was accused of facilitating. Critics noted the stark contrast between Maxwell's grievances about personal discomfort and the years of exploitation suffered by Epstein's victims, whose privacy and bodily autonomy were systematically stripped away. Her allegations against guards read less like a serious civil rights claim and more like an attempt to reframe herself as persecuted rather than protected from self-harm. Judges and prosecutors largely treated her complaints as secondary to the overwhelming security concerns surrounding her detention. In the end, Maxwell's focus on guard behavior underscored a recurring pattern in her defense strategy: deflecting attention from her role in Epstein's operation by recasting herself as the one being wronged by the system.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Winston Churchill once said, “Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm.” That's a nice sentiment—I mean, by and large it's good to let failure be a learning experience, to not let it discourage you from following your dreams. But…hear me out here: What if you're just a hot mess? What if every time you go from one failure to the next, you leave a pile of bodies in your wake? Can you be a little TOO good at failure? Should you sometimes maybe acknowledge “Hey, maybe this thing I'm trying to do isn't one of my strengths”? I think some of the people in this week's episode would have left the world a better place if they'd thrown in the towel.Registration is now open for CrimeWave 2.0!

First Call- Darrell the Corrections Officer on Crime & Prison Movies by Maine's Coast 93.1

Hosted by Tara, this episode covers what may become one of the most consequential political revelations in modern U.S. history. Newly declassified documents—revealed following a bombshell announcement by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard—confirm that the Russia collusion narrative was a complete fabrication, orchestrated by Obama-era intelligence leadership and knowingly pushed despite zero evidence. Tara breaks down reporting from Michael Schellenberger and Matt Taibbi, detailing how the CIA, under John Brennan, targeted 26 Trump associates, funneled staged intelligence through foreign actors, and then used the FBI to legitimize a hoax that consumed nearly two-thirds of legacy media coverage for years

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.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

We are seeing the pressure of the current age take its toll. People losing emotional control and raging against ICE, against each other, against anything they feel they can impact. What they are not seeing is the puppet masters. Between the anger and emotions, technology is slowly finding its permanent place in our lives. Technology to solve all our problems for the simple cost of monitoring, tracking and controlling everything we do. This is a reflection of a society that has lost its moral anchor. Yet, it's not the elites that are forcing the chaos and control on us. It is we the people that are accepting the offerings and embracing the manipulation willingly. We are our own prison makers and our own prison guards. We are building the walls.  #BardsFM_Morning #BuildingOurOwnPrison #Matthew7 Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%: www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

Jeffrey Deskovic's life changed forever when he was convicted of a murder he did not commit at just 17 years old. He maintained his innocence for the next 16 years and then, with the help of the Innocence Project, the real person responsible was finally caught and Jeff was released from prison. Now you may be asking yourself, 'Hey, how is this a GOOD story?' The answer is found in what Jeff did after this all happened: He went to law school, became an attorney and founded the Deskovic Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the exoneration of the wrongfully convicted, their recovery, and reform of the system. This is one person's journey from the darkest of places to finding and creating his own light and we gotta tell ya, it doesn't get much more inspiring than this.

The number of people incarcerated in Missouri prisons is lower than it has been in decades; yet, recent years have seen record-high deaths among those in custody. The deaths reflect an ongoing crisis behind the walls of the state's correctional institutions, say activist ML Smith, founder of the Missouri Justice Coalition, and Rika White, criminal justice policy manager at Empower Missouri. Smith and White take us inside their role in a notable Jan. 14 Missouri House Corrections Committee hearing that featured pointed questions for Trevor Foley, director of the Missouri Department of Corrections, about the state of healthcare inside the state's 19 prisons.

A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation. This might well be the most difficult episode I have ever done. Because I have no chill when it comes to these types of offenses and crimes. Conversations about sexual offenses are often framed in headlines, court records, and statistics, but rarely through long-form, accountable dialogue that explores what happens after conviction. Check out Her Podcast appearance, and content shared for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. In a recent episode titled “A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation,” listeners are introduced to Holly Bot, a convicted and registered sex offender who served eight years incarcerated in a Minnesota prison, followed by supervised release. Her story, shared through interview and reflection, focuses not on justification, but on responsibility, consequence, and personal transformation. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. The conversation is available Free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, and across major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most major Podcast networks, and is being discussed across Facebook, Instagram, and News outlets for its difficult but uncommon perspective. The Crime and the Sentence Holly Bot, formerly known as Holly Kathleen Aho, was a Prior Lake, Minnesota woman who pleaded guilty in 2010 to felony criminal sexual conduct while in a position of authority. The charge stemmed from an ongoing sexual relationship with her son's 15-year-old friend, who had been staying in her home during a period of financial hardship in the boy's family. A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . According to court records, the relationship occurred between February and March 2010. She admitted to police that the sexual contact happened multiple times, both in the family home and once during a stop in her vehicle while driving to a movie theater. She was sentenced to eight years in prison and four years of supervised release, and she is now a registered sex offender. “I don't tell my story to erase harm,” Holly states during the interview. “I tell it because accountability doesn't end at sentencing, it begins there.” Before, During, and After Incarceration The interview traces Holly's life before the crime, including her marriage, family structure, and emotional state leading up to the offense. She discusses the immediate aftermath, arrest, trial, and incarceration, without deflection. A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Her marriage did not survive the process. “Prison didn't just take my freedom,” she reflects. “It stripped away every identity I thought defined me, wife, mother, normalcy.” Inside prison, Holly describes navigating shame, isolation, and survival, particularly as someone incarcerated for a sex offense, a status that often leads to heightened stigma and vulnerability within correctional settings. “You either confront who you are,” she says, “or you disappear inside yourself.” Spiritual Survival and Transformation A central theme of the conversation is spiritual transformation. Holly speaks openly about turning to faith, not as a shield, but as a framework for responsibility and change. “I had to surrender the idea that I was the victim,” she explains. “Spiritual survival meant telling the truth about myself, even when it was unbearable.” A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. That journey ultimately led to the writing of her memoir, From Surviving to Living, a deeply personal Book that documents incarceration, mental health struggles, broken relationships, and the long process of rebuilding a life after prison. From Surviving to Living From Surviving to Living is more than a memoir. It functions as a reflective resource for: Incarcerated individuals and reentry participants Correctional facilities and treatment programs Chaplaincy services and faith-based groups Mental health and recovery communities The book addresses intake, isolation, depression, anger, shame, accountability, and healing, offering readers emotional validation without minimizing harm. A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. “Change doesn't erase consequences,” Holly writes. “But it determines whether suffering is wasted.” A Difficult but Necessary Conversation This Podcast episode does not seek to soften the reality of the crime or the damage caused. Instead, it asks a harder question: What does responsibility look like over a lifetime, not just in a courtroom? The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. By allowing space for honest reflection, the conversation challenges audiences to hold two truths at once: the gravity of harm, and the possibility of transformation through structure, accountability, and sustained effort. A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation. The full interview is available Free on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube, and excerpts are being shared on Facebook and Instagram as part of a broader dialogue about incarceration, reentry, and personal responsibility.

Before Stan Andrisse was sentenced to ten years in prison for a Class A drug felony, the prosecutor had asked for a life sentence, suggesting that the defendant was irredeemable.  In the years since, Stan, now "Dr. Andrisse" has proved this attorney and many others wrong.  While in prison, he discovered an interest in science and endocrinology and today is a tenured professor at the Howard University College of Medicine.  To create similar opportunities and career paths for others who are or have been incarcerated, he founded the non-profit From Prison Cells to PhD.    Chapters:   00:00 Introduction to Dr. Stan Andrisse  This chapter introduces Dr. Stan Andrisse a tenured faculty member at Howard University and the founder of "From Prison Cells to PhD."   02:40 Early Life and Incarceration  Dr. Andrisse discusses his childhood in Ferguson, Missouri, and how he became involved in illegal activities from a young age. He describes his progression from minor trouble to serious drug dealing, leading to multiple felony convictions and facing a potential life sentence under the three-strikes law.  07:58 The Incarceration of the Mind  Stan reflects on the profound psychological impact of being labeled a career criminal and facing a lengthy prison sentence. He emphasizes that the 'incarceration of the mind' is more damaging than physical imprisonment and describes how a mentor helped him begin to overcome this despair.  12:58 Mentor and Path to Education  Stan details the pivotal role of Dr. Barry Bodie, who supported him during his sentencing and continued to mentor him in prison. He explains how reading scientific articles, prompted by his father's death from diabetes, liberated his mind and ignited his passion for science, leading to his acceptance into St. Louis University despite multiple rejections.  22:33 Talent, Opportunity, and Innovation  Stan discusses his philosophy that talent is evenly distributed, but opportunity is not, using his own journey as an example.

Sonny Von Cleveland opens up about serving nearly two decades in prison and the harsh realities of being young, white, and unprepared for prison life. Pulled into violence and survival politics at an early age, Sonny breaks down what it really takes to make it through long prison sentences, the fear, the mistakes, and the lessons learned the hard way behind bars. He speaks candidly about navigating race, identity, and power inside prison, how incarceration forced him to confront his past, and the mindset shift that ultimately saved his life. Today, Sonny has transformed his story into purpose as a speaker, mentor, and community leader, proving that even the darkest chapters don't have to define how the story ends. _____________________________________________ #PrisonSurvival #MichiganPrison #PrisonLife #TrueCrime #LifeInPrison #PrisonStories #SurvivingPrison #incarceration _____________________________________________ Connect with Sonny Von Cleveland: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sonnyvonclevelandofficial/ Website: https://www.sonnyvoncleveland.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 First Days in Prison: Shock, Fear, and Survival 02:00 Growing Up in the Midwest Before Prison 06:40 Family Trauma, Abuse, and a Broken Childhood 12:00 Surviving Abuse and Learning to Cope 17:00 Running Away, Street Life, and Early Crime 21:00 The Road to Prison: Charges, Conviction, and Sentencing 24:40 Entering Adult Prison for the First Time 26:00 Prison Violence, Gangs, and Losing Innocence 31:30 Regret, Lost Youth, and Missed Chances 35:40 Solitary Confinement, System Failures, and Mental Survival 41:00 Release, Reoffending, and a Second Prison Sentence 46:00 Life After Release: Family Conflict, Crime, and Betrayal 52:00 Solitary Confinement, Transformation, and Forgiveness 59:00 Self-Reflection, Growth, and Mental Survival in Prison 01:03:00 Teaching Others, Service, and Finding Purpose Behind Bars 01:09:00 Leaving Gang Life and Choosing a Different Path 01:14:00 Reentry After Prison: Starting Over From Nothing 01:19:00 Using His Story to Help Others Avoid Prison 01:22:00 Final Advice, Redemption, and Life's True Purpose Learn more about your ad choices.
