On this episode of the “Prison Pulpit” on the China Compass podcast I dive into what missionary pilot Kevin Rideout might be experiencing in Niger (or Timbuktu) after being kidnapped by Islamic extremists (but I repeat myself) last month, in the hopes that we will take time to "remember his chains" and intercede for him as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us to do....

American Missionary Pilot Kidnapped in Niger (Oct 22) https://christianchronicle.org/missionarypilot/ https://www.christianpost.com/news/american-missionary-pilot-kevin-rideout-is-abducted-in-niger.html First, a couple of facts about where Kevin lived, and where Niger is located… He was in an upscale neighborhood of Niamey, the capital of Niger The US Embassy of Niger was just 2 miles away (8 minute drive) The Niger Natl Guard and Presidential Palace were just a mile away Niamey is located 125 miles west of NW Nigeria, and 125 south of Mali’s southern border Kevin was reportedly taken north towards Mali, home to the infamous city of Timbuktu. Niamey is 500 miles north of the Atlantic Ocean (leap-frogging Benin) Niamey is in the south Sahara, 1500 miles from the Mediterranean and 2100 miles from Cairo Niger is about twice the size of Texas, 3x the size of California, and virtually the same as Peru Niamey has about a million people, and Niger as a whole 25 million Niger has both the highest birthrate in the world at 6.5, but also the highest infant mortality rate The child mortality rate (child deaths before age 5) is between 80 and 250 per 1,000 (1 in 4) Niger is such a basketcase that even China has trouble getting them to cooperate, despite throwing hundreds of millions (billions, really) of dollars their way!

Ben McChesney spent 25 years behind bars, serving time in more than a dozen state and federal prisons across the country — from low-level facilities to some of the toughest penitentiaries in America. His story is one of chaos, survival, and defiance. After being accused of stealing several pallets of firearms in what became one of the largest gun heists in his state, Ben went on the run to Mexico for two years before being captured. Acting as his own attorney, he fought multiple cases, beat a federal kidnapping charge, and survived years of violence and transfers across 14 federal prisons. Inside, he ran underground poker tables, fought predators, and lived by his own code. Raw, unfiltered, and brutally honest, Ben's story exposes the reality of long-term prison life, corruption, and what it truly takes to survive 25 years in the system. #LockedInWithIanBick #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #LifeInPrison #RedemptionStory #RealStories #PrisonLife #SurvivingPrison Thank you to BLUECHEW for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew & pay five bucks for shipping.

What if your greatest strength is actually your prison? What if the capability everyone admires, the drive that built your success, the resilience that got you through everything, is the very thing keeping you exhausted, overwhelmed, and unable to let anything be easy? Manja Horner learned early that she couldn't be a bother. With an older sister battling cancer and parents stretched beyond capacity, four-year-old Manja absorbed a profound lesson: be strong, be capable, never add to the burden. That pattern of over-functioning became her operating system, driving her to perfectionism, straight A's, a full-ride scholarship, and eventually a high-powered corporate career at BMO's Institute for Learning. On the outside, Manja was killing it. Executive track. Great salary. Respect. Security. But when she was asked to pour months of her life into a project she didn't believe in, something shifted. She walked away from the comfort, the salary, the stability, because her integrity mattered more than her safety. She sold a rental property to fund her business, had three small kids, and her husband, a police officer whose core values are security and stability, watched his wife blow up their predictable life. Fast forward to today: Manja runs a thriving learning and development company serving the skilled trades industry, she's pioneering AI applications to capture retiring tradespeople's wisdom, she's writing a book, raising three kids, doing somatic therapy, acupuncture, and EMDR to heal childhood wounds. She's accomplished, capable, and deeply successful. And her biggest challenge? Learning that ease is safe. Learning to soften without losing her edge. Learning that she doesn't have to make everything uncomfortable just because comfort feels dangerous. In this raw, vulnerable conversation, Manja reveals: The hidden cost of learning "don't be a bother" as a child and how it shows up as chronic over-functioning in adulthood Why perfectionism isn't about excellence, it's about not being judged (and how she's learning to iterate instead) The moment she walked away from corporate security because integrity mattered more than safety, and what that cost her marriage How being "intimidating" is often just armor for women who never learned they're allowed to take up space Why driven, ambitious women gravitate toward discomfort because ease actually doesn't feel safe in their nervous system The somatic reality of high-functioning freeze and what it takes to finally soften How therapy, EMDR, and the Big Leap helped her expand her capacity for joy, ease, and contentment Why "it is what it is" is a cop-out sentence that keeps you stuck in patterns you could actually change What it means to be the strong, capable one everyone relies on while quietly crumbling under the weight of your own standards The marriage work required when one partner's core value is security and the other can't stop shaking the cage This episode is for you if you've ever: Been told you're intimidating when you're just trying to belong Left a room wondering if you were "too much" or took up too much space Walked away from security because staying would have cost you your integrity Found yourself making things harder than they need to be because ease feels unsafe Collapsed into bed exhausted while your mind races through tomorrow's to-do list Snapped at the people you love most after a long day of holding it together for everyone else Wondered why you can't just relax, chill out, or enjoy the success you've built Been praised for your strength while secretly feeling trapped by your own capability Known you're over-functioning but can't figure out how to stop without everything falling apart Guest Bio Manja Horner is a learning experience strategist and trusted advisor to companies who want to transform their business with training and team procedures and processes in a seamless, digital and easy-to-implement system. As founder of Boost, she's on a mission to create amazing employee experiences and get results for leaders in the skilled trades.

Manja is also the author of the forthcoming book Passing the Torch in the Trades and a former corporate learning executive at a leading financial institution who left security to build a business rooted in integrity and impact. Find Manja on: Instagram: @Manja_horner LinkedIn Boost   Ready to stop making everything harder than it needs to be? If Manja's story landed, it's because you recognize yourself in it. You're strong, capable, the one everyone turns to. You've built something impressive. But you're exhausted. You can't remember the last time something felt easy. And the idea of softening, of allowing ease, of not carrying it all? It terrifies you because doing feels safer than being. Here's what nobody tells you: Your strength isn't the problem. Your capability isn't the problem. The problem is that you learned a long time ago that being a burden wasn't safe, so you became the opposite. You became the rock. And now you're carrying weight that was never yours to carry. The Congruency Audit is where we look at the gap between the success you've built on the outside and the exhaustion you're feeling on the inside. We'll identify the exact patterns keeping you stuck in over-functioning, the childhood wounds driving your need to never be a bother, and what it's going to take for you to finally create success that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. This isn't about doing more or being better. This is about learning that ease is safe. That softening doesn't mean losing your edge. That you can be strong AND allow support. That you can be capable AND let things be easy. Book your Congruency Audit: lisacarpenter.ca/audit This isn't about optimizing the version of yourself you built to survive. It's about creating congruence so the life you've built doesn't just look good, it finally feels right.   If you listen on Spotify:  Open the Spotify app on your phone.

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

Four months after receiving a cancer diagnosis, her mother died from cancer.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    Do you remember Bob Hayes, the man who was named "World's Fastest Human"? He was a hero of 1964 Olympics, bringing home the Gold Medal in the 100 meter run, and being clocked at incredible 8.5 seconds in the final 110 yards of 400 meter relay run. After the Olympics, he became an all-pro wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys. His college coach said that if there had ever been a kid he wished was his, it was Bob Hayes. Then, in April 1979 Bob was convicted of selling narcotics to an undercover agent. He received two 5-year prison sentences. He went from the pinnacle of success to prison. Then terrible health issues due to drug abuse and the wrong lifestyle. According to Hayes, and those who cared most about him, his downfall was caused by his inability to choose the right circle.     1 Corinthians 15:33: "'Bad company corrupts good character'”. Company - not just friend, but group of friends- your circle Mark 2 2 Jesus returned to Capernaum, and a few days later the news went out that He was at home. 2 So many people gathered together that there was no longer room [for them], not even near the door; and Jesus was discussing with them the word [of God]. 3 Then they came, bringing to Him a paralyzed man, who was being carried by four men. 4 When they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Jesus; and when they had dug out an opening, they let down the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying. 5 When Jesus saw their faith      **Thats the whole sermon right there!! Let me see your friends faith - That will tell me everything I need to know!        ITS NOT ABOUT THE CHOICES YOU MAKE… ITS ABOUT THE CIRCLE YOU MAKE!    You don't need the right friends you need the right circle. You can't choose your family - but you can choose your circle. You can't always choose your classmates, coworkers, neighbors or those who share your pew at church -  but you can always choose your *circle of influence*. AND YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE WITHOUT KNOWING…     **I was training a young man in my gym. He came in one day all concerned. He said he thinks he has a skin disease… something is really wrong with his hands. - They were callouses. But it happened so slow he did not realize it. The work of our circle is slow at first… but in time it becomes who we are.

A St. Paul man is charged with vehicular homicide and fleeing the scene after allegedly killing a woman who was out walking her dogs last week. Minnesota hasn't elected a third-party governor since 1998, but Mike Newcome hopes that will change in 2026. Newcome has launched a campaign as an Independence party candidate.

Eighty years after his death, federal investigators have identified the remains of a Minnesota man killed during World War II.

There are plenty of rags to riches stories, that while I honor greatly, don't specifically stand out to me. But this one…this one did. Andre Norman wasn't just in prison. And maximum security prison at that. He ran the prison. He was king of the inmates and ran gang activities from within the prison walls. He was granted immunity from most all the rules and regulations by the guards. Then on his way to yet another of 10+ attempted murders, he got a wake up call and realized he was king. King of…nothing. Thus began his journey to educate himself, work out of a 100+ year prison sentence, and become an acclaimed motivational speaker on hope. That is a dramatic life transformation to me. An incredible identity shift. And I wanted to understand the dynamics of his experience. Most of my guests are authors, but I seldom read the books completely. Andre's book, Ambassador Of Hope: Turning Poverty And Prison Into A Purpose Driven Life, I read cover to cover. His childhood story…I just broke my heart with. He went from prison king to Harvard. Literally. But even amongst the success he pursued, he still struggled. I dig into his story and he brought me to a discussion on the salvation he cites of accountability. And our propensity as humans to get involved in a pursuit out of a strong why, but then lose it to the what of what we are doing. And get lost, or as he did, come back to the why. I think you'll find this discussion convicting and sobering, as I did.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is only weeks into his federal sentence, and the cracks are already showing. In this Hidden Killers deep dive, Tony Brueski breaks down what's really happening behind the walls at FCI Fort Dix — and why Diddy's earliest prison violations may be the warning signs of a much larger unraveling ahead. Reports confirm his projected release date has already been pushed back after alleged rule violations inside the facility, including an unauthorized three-way phone call and possession of contraband. For most inmates, these would be serious but survivable errors. For someone like Diddy — a man whose world has always revolved around control, autonomy, image, and dominance — they're something far more revealing. This episode explores the psychological collision between confinement and a personality built on power. What happens when a man who spent decades commanding attention is suddenly stripped of audience, status, and the ability to shape his surroundings? What happens when the boundaries he's used to bending suddenly harden into the immovable rules of the federal system? Tony examines how early infractions fit a predictable pattern seen in high-control personalities entering prison: testing limits, resisting authority, escalating entitlement, and struggling to adapt when the system pushes back. And with years still left to serve, these first missteps may be the beginning of a long, difficult road — one where every rule violation risks lost privileges, lost “good time,” and potentially even transfers to more restrictive environments. We also look ahead at the likely pitfalls:  — How repeated violations can add months or years to an inmate's stay  — Why narcissistic personalities often sabotage their own progress  — How prison documentation affects appeals, programs, and halfway-house eligibility  — And why this journey may become more psychologically punishing than the sentence itself This isn't just a story about discipline. It's a story about identity, control, and a system that does not bend for celebrity. If this is how Diddy's incarceration begins… what happens next?

Every life holds a turning point — a moment when the path forward demands not just change, but complete reinvention. For some, that moment comes quietly. For others, it arrives through struggle, loss, or even confinement. But what if those very experiences that seem to break us could, instead, become the foundation of our redemption?   In this episode, Cindy Watson and Dr. Kim Nugent, together they will discuss about From Prison to Possibilities: Negotiating Redemption, Reinvention, and Radical Self-Worth. Cindy Watson and Dr. Kim Nugent take us on a journey through the transformative power of self-belief and second chances. Together, they uncover how even in our darkest chapters, there lies an opportunity to rediscover purpose, reclaim dignity, and rise with renewed vision — proving that the greatest negotiations we ever make are the ones we make for our own redemption.   In this episode, you will learn:   The key internal negotiations that we have to make to shift from feeling stuck to stepping into new opportunities or possibilities. How to negotiate our way if we feel isolated or unsupported? Negotiating trust and forgiveness with other people in your life. How to negotiate past your fear when wanting to step into a new future? How to negotiate as a mentor even we don't see ourselves as one? And many more!   Learn more about Dr. Kim:   Website: https://drnugentspeaks.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063645326738# Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkimsnugent/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimsnugent   Get her book!   From Prison to Possibilities: Paving Your Path  If you're looking to up-level your negotiation skills, I have everything from online to group to my signature one-on-one mastermind & VIP experiences available to help you better leverage your innate power to get more of what you want and deserve in life.

Amanda Brittani Mitchell, a woman from Virginia has been sentenced for her involvement in the horrific beating death of her 2-year-old daughter Harper. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the immediate aftermath of her conviction, there was significant debate and scrutiny over where Ghislaine Maxwell would serve her prison sentence following her 20-year federal judgment for sex-trafficking and related charges tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Initially, Maxwell was placed at the low-security women's federal prison, Federal Correctional Institution, Tallahassee in Florida. The placement raised questions because, given the severity of her crimes and high-profile nature of the case, many observers expected her to be assigned to a facility with stricter security settings. Critics argued that a low-security placement might not reflect the gravity of her offenses or adequately account for necessary protections and oversight.The debate intensified when, in 2025, Maxwell was unexpectedly transferred from FCI Tallahassee to the minimum-security camp Federal Prison Camp, Bryan in Bryan, Texas—one of the most lenient levels of federal prison. The transfer occurred shortly after she met with the Deputy U.S. Attorney General, and it sparked concerns among lawmakers who questioned whether this move constituted preferential treatment for someone convicted of facilitating the sexual abuse of minors. Some called for transparency and accountability, demanding records about how security designations are decided and whether her placement adhered to normal Bureau of Prisons policy or was outside standard procedure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Send us a textI am still out of the country so am posting some shorter podcasts to keep the podcast ticking over. This one concerns a case from 1963 going on to 1967. The podcast is recorded in a studio that is soundproofed but visited by various cats and dogs and sometimes other creatures.This podcast is set in Soho, Central London an area where I used to work and knew quite well back in the late 1980s.

Alec Hackney spent nearly a decade in and out of Colorado prisons after first being locked up at just 17 years old for attempted murder. A Blood gang member for over 20 years, Alec survived being stabbed in the head, shot on the streets, and caught in the chaos of drugs, violence, and survival behind bars. After serving a 10-year sentence for drug conspiracy and getting clean 7 years ago, he decided to change his life completely. Since his release in 2023, Alec has opened a sober living home, a behavioral health and recovery coaching business, and a personal investment firm, using his story to help others find a way out of the same life he escaped. Alec shares what it was really like being a Blood inside Colorado prisons, the harsh reality of gang life, and how he turned years of pain into a purpose-driven mission to rebuild his life. #LockedInWithIanBick #ColoradoPrisons #BloodGang #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #GangLife #RedemptionStory #realstories Thank you to EXPRESSVPN & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: ExpressVPN: Secure your online data TODAY by visiting https://www.expressvpn.com/lockedin to find out how you can get up to four extra months.

Tonight on The Redacted Report, we reopen the case file on one of America's most infamous crimes—the 1966 massacre of eight student nurses in Chicago. The world knows the headline: one survivor, one killer, Richard Speck. But the real story didn't make the newspapers, and it never made the documentaries.That story begins here.We trace Speck's path long before the murders, uncovering early psychiatric evaluations, head trauma, and behavioral red flags buried in government archives—warnings ignored until it was far too late. Records from Texas expose a trail of violence against women that mirror the Chicago killings almost exactly, cases that were dismissed or quietly dropped. Maritime logs reveal a pattern of explosive aggression at sea, ignored by a system that kept placing Speck on new ships despite repeated danger.The week before the murders—long treated as an afterthought—comes into focus as a period of planning and preparation. Witnesses reported Speck stalking nurses, drawing layouts of buildings, and meeting with unknown individuals. The crime scene itself tells a story that never reached a jury: signs of earlier tampering, restraints brought in advance, and a timeline that points to a calculated, controlled attack rather than a spontaneous frenzy.Corazon Amurao's survival—heroic and heartbreaking—contains details withheld from the public for decades. She heard Speck speaking casually with the victims. She heard another voice in the townhouse. And years later, she admitted what she'd been urged to conceal: she saw a second set of feet.Even the manhunt and arrest raise questions. Speck was seen calmly sitting outside the townhouse after the murders, visited multiple locations searching for someone, and suddenly had access to money. A forged medical bracelet appeared on his wrist. An anonymous caller with medical knowledge identified him at the hospital. Nothing about his capture fits the official version. The suppressed forensic evidence is equally troubling: multiple unidentified fingerprints, unexplained footprints, a phone call placed from inside the crime scene during the murders, and a controlled drug in Speck's system he should never have had access to.Prison tapes later caught Speck alluding to “the man with the plan,” describing the killings as “the message,” and insisting he wasn't acting alone.Patterns of similar attacks on nurses in other cities, linked locations, coordinated methods, and financial trails all point to a larger, unsettling picture—one the justice system seemed unwilling to confront. Speck may have been the hand, but the question remains: whose hand was guiding him?Richard Speck died in 1991, but the unanswered questions surrounding this case remain locked behind sealed files, suppressed reports, and the memories of those told to stay silent. Tonight, we challenge the official narrative and present the case as the evidence actually shows it.On The Redacted Report, we don't repeat the story they told you.We expose the one they didn't want you to hear.

Robert opens with a surprising parallel between political power struggles and financial strategy, revealing why governments often do whatever it takes to keep markets high when control is on the line. He breaks down how stimulus policies are shaping the next phase of the bull market, the three assets best positioned to benefit, and why volatility is just the cost of staying invested when the stakes are this high.

Recorded: February 8, 2024 | On this episode of Best of the Bus, The Boys were joined by UFC legend Michael Bisping. Michael opened up about his journey to the UFC and how a trip to jail completely changed the trajectory of his life. The guys then dove into some of Bisping’s most memorable fights, discussing which moments stuck with him the most and whether any of those wars left lasting effects. They also talked about his transition into the media side of the UFC and how he found his voice as an analyst. To wrap things up, Bisping gave his thoughts on the upcoming Chandler vs. McGregor fight and what fans should expect. Michael was hilarious throughout and told some unbelievable stories, making this an all-time episode. Big hugs, tiny kisses.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sean “Diddy” Combs, once the self-crowned king of luxury, has apparently been reduced to the lowest form of intoxication known to man: prison hooch. Reports claim the former mogul was caught with homemade alcohol inside Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution — the kind of foul, bubbling concoction inmates brew in trash bags using fruit, sugar, and desperation. Forget Cîroc. Forget top-shelf anything. What Diddy's allegedly drinking behind bars is called pruno, better known as toilet wine. It's made by mashing fruit and ketchup packets, adding water, and letting it rot until the smell alone could peel paint. It's dangerous, disgusting, and — incredibly — one of the most common contraband “delicacies” in prisons across America. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down exactly how inmates make their booze, what they risk to do it, and how it all fits into the bizarre underground economy of prison life. From hand-sanitizer cocktails to coffee-ground highs, this is the unfiltered, unsanitized look at what really happens when the party never stops — even in federal custody. And as for Diddy? The man who once bragged about power and control now looks like every other addict who can't face silence without a fix. No entourages. No private jets. Just a bag of fermenting fruit under a bunk and the illusion that he's still the one running the show. Welcome to the new “Bad Boy” era — one that reeks of citrus rot and ego decay.

Britain's prisons are a legislative problem that has beset successive governments. New revelations show 91 accidental early releases in just six months, the latest in a growing pattern of administrative chaos across the criminal justice system. Between drones delivering drugs, crumbling Victorian buildings, exhausted staff and an ever more convoluted sentencing regime, what is the cause of so many blunders? And what will Labour's promised reforms actually fix – and are more crises inevitable?James Heale speaks to Charlie Taylor, H.M.

Prison officials found 46-year-old Tremane Wood unresponsive on his cell floor and rushed him to the hospital shortly after he got the news he and his family had been hoping for, from the Governor. Woods was granted clemency exactly 1 minute before he was scheduled to die by lethal injection, so how did he end up hospitalized with a busted head and lip? Later in the day, a much different scene in Florida, where that state executed its 16th inmate of the year, more than 4 decades after Bryan Jennings brutally murdered 6-year-old Becky Kunash.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
