Imagine being unjustly imprisoned for months, watching your family and people suffer, and asking the piercing question: "O God, where art thou?" The revelations given to Joseph Smith in the darkest dungeon of his life are some of the most beautiful and powerful in all scripture. Summary: In this profound episode, we explore the transcendent revelations of Doctrine and Covenants 121, 122, and 123, written from the confines of Liberty Jail. D&C 121: The Power of Righteousness. We delve into Joseph's heartfelt plea, "How long shall thy hand be stayed?" The Lord answers with a staggering lesson: authority and power are inseparably connected with the principles of righteousness. We analyze the fatal trap of "unrighteous dominion"—covering our sins, gratifying pride, and exercising compulsion—which instantly causes the heavens to withdraw. Crucially, we learn the six principles of Godly Influence: persuasion, long-suffering, gentleness, meekness, love unfeigned, and kindness. This section is a master class in Christlike leadership. D&C 122: Eternal Perspective in Suffering. The Lord reassures Joseph: "My son, peace be unto thy soul." He validates every trial Joseph has faced, from false accusations to the "jaws of hell," and promises that "all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good." This section confirms that the "Son of Man hath descended below them all," granting Him perfect knowledge to comfort us in our extremities. D&C 123: The Duty to Record. Finally, we discuss the duty to collect a "catalog of catastrophes" detailing the Saints' sufferings and abuses. This was not for vengeance, but to "leave the whole nation without excuse" and to help those who are "kept from the truth because they know not where to find it." The lesson culminates with the principle of total effort: "cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God."

Prisons are notorious for being haunted. They are places of such strong emotion, that isn't surprising. There are a couple of areas of jails that lend themselves more to haunting activity: solitary confinement and Death Row. Whether one supports the death penalty or not, there is no question that some people commit such heinous crimes that it is hard to imagine, that anything else could be justice other than the death penalty. There are several murderers who have met their final demise at the end of a rope, an electric chair or a needle. Is it possible that their spirits have remained on this side of the veil? Perhaps they are not welcome anywhere else.

Grace Ashford, New York Times reporter covering New York State politics and government, talks about why President Trump commuted former Congressman George Santos' sentence, which allowed him to leave prison after serving less than three months of his long sentence for crimes related to theft and fraud.

Mario Sanchez grew up in San Francisco, where a tough childhood and the streets shaped his future. After high school, he started committing home invasions that led to a decade-long prison sentence in some of California's most dangerous maximum-security prisons.

Calling from a prison phone in Nebraska, Nicholas Ely joined his wife, Julie Montpetit, for an episode of Montpetit's podcast, “More Than an Inmate's Girlfriend,” which aims to destigmatize relationships like theirs. Afterwards, Montpetit lost all contact with her husband. Now, Ely is suing several employees in the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services, alleging that he has faced unlawful retaliation for appearing on the podcast and that his constitutional rights, including his right to free speech, were violated. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, host Mansa Musa speaks with Montpetit about losing contact with her husband and about the status of his lawsuit. Additional Links/Resources: Sarah Gentzler, Flatwater Free Press, "A Nebraska inmate went on his girlfriend's podcast.

St. Paul informs the Philippians that the Lord has used Paul's imprisonment to advance the Gospel. Not only are elite Roman soldiers hearing of Christ, but other Christians are encouraged to speak of Christ even more boldly. Even when some proclaim the Gospel in an effort to harm Paul, the Apostle still rejoices that the Gospel is proclaimed. As he considers his imprisonment, his joy continues, for he knows that whether he lives or dies, he will be secure in Christ and God will be glorified.  Rev. Lucas Witt, executive director of the Lutheran Mission Society of Maryland, headquartered in Baltimore, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Philippians 1:12-26.  To learn more about the Lutheran Mission Society of Maryland, visit www.compassionplace.org. “Letters from Prison” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. Even when Paul was imprisoned for the sake of Christ, the Word of God remained unbound. The apostle's letters from prison still fill us with the same joy that his chains could never silence. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

Meghan and Miranda are joined by former Rep. George Santos, fresh out after 84 days served (including 41 days in solitary confinement) with his federal sentence commuted by President Trump. He walks us through the moment-to-moment reality of prison (moldy ceilings, expired food, the “shoe”), how he coped, who helped, and why he wants to channel the experience into prison reform and case review work (a la Alice Marie Johnson). We also hit: Why he says he was moved to solitary & how “protective custody” works. Mental health, re-entry, and the very relatable first shower/La Mer/skincare binge! NY politics: NYC mayoral race, congestion pricing, Kathy Hochul's vulnerabilities, and whether Elise Stefanik could win statewide Culture break: J.Lo's historic box-office flop, Katy Perry + Trudeau rumor mill, and the “diva down/diva up” jokes.

Miranda's live from Las Vegas (yes, that Flamingo sign), and the Cheryl Hines interview is up now on YouTube — thanks for the love on that one.

The Quaker experiment at Eastern State Penitentiary was meant to be a sanctuary for the soul, a place to reform criminals through silence and reflection. Instead, it accidentally engineered a form of psychological torture: solitary confinement. This episode uncovers the complicated history of this "Great Experiment" and then journeys to the offices of AFSC Prison Watch, where a new generation of Quaker activists are confronting this legacy by listening to the raw, firsthand accounts of people who have survived the modern system.  ---------------------------------------------Westtown School, a leading Quaker day school for Pre-K to 12th grade is hosting Open Houses this Fall. Upper School, Saturday, October 25th, 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.Middle School, Thursday, October 30th, 9:00 to 11:30 a.m.Lower School, Wednesday, November 5th, 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.Learn more at www.westtown.edu/fall.

When it comes to publicity stunts, Kim Kardashian may have just outdone herself. The socialite and reality TV star has raised a few eyebrows with the latest addition to her underwear range, Skims — a barely there thong, lavishly adorned with fake pubic hair. Charmin is going big with its latest release. Starting Thursday, the brand is introducing what it calls “The Forever Roll.” It's a 1,700-sheet roll of toilet paper that is meant to last up to a month, based on a two-person household. The roll is about 32 times larger than a standard one. A court filing has put some meat on the bones of the case against the corrections officer just arrested for allegedly smuggling chicken wings into a Texas lockup.

In this explosive episode, former USC football standout Owen Hanson—once living the dream on the field—reveals how he plunged into the dark underworld of the Sinaloa Cartel, moving hundreds of millions in cocaine across continents. Known as “O-Dog”, Hanson opens up about his journey from campus celebrity and sports bookmaker to international drug trafficker working directly with El Chapo's network. Host Johnny Mitchell dives deep into Hanson's transformation—from selling steroids to teammates at USC, to orchestrating high-level cartel deals spanning Peru, Mexico, Australia, and the U.S. Hanson recounts the lavish highs, the paranoia of living double lives, and the eventual FBI sting that brought it all crashing down. Now a free man and entrepreneur, Hanson shares how he rebuilt himself after prison, founding California Ice Protein and using his story to warn others about ego, greed, and the illusion of power. This episode blends crime, redemption, and raw honesty—a gripping story of how a promising athlete became a global kingpin, and how he's now rewriting his legacy. Go Support Owen!

Even though St. Paul writes from prison, his letter to the church in Philippi is full of joy. Philippi had been his first place of work in Macedonia on his second missionary journey, and although he had been thrown in prison there for a short time, his connection with the Philippians was strong in Christ. As he begins his letter to them, he tells them of his constant thanksgiving to God for them due to their partnership in the Gospel. The Philippians are partakers with Paul in grace, and he prays that they would abound in love until the day of Jesus Christ.  Rev. Luke Zimmerman, pastor at Calvary Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mechanicsburg, PA, joins host Rev.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – In a world where comfort often trumps conviction, Dexter Taylor stands firm. Refusing a plea deal, the 53-year-old software engineer chooses prison over compromising his beliefs. His fight isn't about politics—it's about principle. Taylor's defiance tests what freedom truly means and challenges us to decide whether liberty still demands sacrifice...

In early 2024, reports emerged that Ghislaine Maxwell had been quietly moved into the “honor dorm” at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida — a residential wing reserved for inmates who demonstrate “model behavior.” The relocation came less than two years into her 20-year sentence for sex trafficking minors on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein. The “honor dorm” reportedly provided a far more comfortable environment than the rest of the facility, featuring reduced restrictions, more privacy, and access to better work and recreational assignments. Prison consultants and advocates were quick to note that such a placement is highly unusual for a high-profile sex offender, especially one convicted of trafficking minors, suggesting that Maxwell's status and influence may have played a role in the Bureau of Prisons' decision.Critics saw the move as the first step toward a broader softening of Maxwell's incarceration — a precursor to her eventual transfer to Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas, a minimum-security facility with far lighter conditions. Bureau of Prisons policy typically bars sex offenders from being housed in minimum-security camps, making the sequence of Maxwell's reclassifications appear suspect. Reports also surfaced that internal lockdowns and security disruptions accompanied her movements, implying that special accommodations were being made for her safety and privacy. Legal observers and victims' advocates condemned the decisions as evidence of ongoing preferential treatment, saying it sends a dangerous message that elite offenders continue to receive leniency unavailable to ordinary inmates.

In Maine, inmates are logging into Zoom meetings, pulling six-figure salaries, and even buying houses… all from inside prison walls. Is that rehabilitation… or a reward?

The Palazzo Ducale dominates the view as your vaporetto approaches the San Marco stop. The huge building is an example of Venetian Gothic architecture, all pointed arches and quatrefoils. It's hard to believe that two prisons lie within its bulk, with a third inside the pristine white building alongside it. Tourists might be the only people who visit these prisons now, trotting along the corridors as part of organised tours. Yet in bygone centuries, notorious reputations clung to the cells, and people feared being slung into them. The fearsome reputation of this prison may not have outlived the building, but they certainly outlived the Venetian Republic. Let's explore this reputation, some legends associated with the Palace and its prisons, and even learn of a daring escape from one of them - by none other than Casanova - in this week's episode!

In this episode of “Normal World,” Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open with headlines about Kevin Federline worrying over Britney Spears before moving through a fast mix of pop culture, news, and sharp comedy. They trade stories from their early days in Chicago comedy, reflecting on clubs like Zanies and Appleton, wild audiences, and how Midwest weather fuels bad moods and great jokes. The team breaks down Portland's naked bike ride and the odd logic of modern protest, then jumps into Utah's culture of repression and religion. The tone turns darker when they react to Danny Masterson's prison transfer, with Robert offering real insight from his time as a jail guard, sharing absurd and disturbing moments from behind bars. They explore the case of an Arkansas father who killed his daughter's attacker and is now running for sheriff, debating justice and moral boundaries. The conversation deepens as Robert recounts a violent tragedy near his mother's Chicago home, before lifting the mood with a tribute to movie-poster icon Drew Struzan and a skeptical look at the new Bruce Springsteen biopic. The show closes with a nod to the legends of comedy, from Eddie Murphy and Bernie Mac to Rudy Ray Moore, and how their storytelling still shapes stand-up today.

The morning Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his Metropolitan Correctional Center cell, nearly every major jail protocol was broken. He was supposed to be checked every 30 minutes under suicide-watch procedures, yet the guards on duty failed to make their rounds for hours. His cellmate had been transferred out the night before and was never replaced, directly violating Bureau of Prisons policy that required Epstein to never be left alone. Both guards assigned to his unit were reportedly working extreme overtime shifts—one on their fifth consecutive day—and later admitted to falsifying log entries to make it look like they had conducted checks. Meanwhile, several of the security cameras near Epstein's cell were malfunctioning, leaving investigators without clear footage of the crucial time window when he died.When investigators arrived, they discovered the cell in complete disarray—evidence had been moved, and the body had already been removed before FBI agents could process the scene. Crime scene procedures weren't followed, key documentation was missing, and autopsy findings later added to the controversy surrounding his death. The Inspector General's report described a “cascade of failures,” from negligent oversight to ignored warnings, concluding that the Bureau of Prisons' incompetence created the perfect environment for Epstein's death to occur unchecked.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The “honor dorm” reportedly provided a far more comfortable environment than the rest of the facility, featuring reduced restrictions, more privacy, and access to better work and recreational assignments. Prison consultants and advocates were quick to note that such a placement is highly unusual for a high-profile sex offender, especially one convicted of trafficking minors, suggesting that Maxwell's status and influence may have played a role in the Bureau of Prisons' decision.Critics saw the move as the first step toward a broader softening of Maxwell's incarceration — a precursor to her eventual transfer to Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas, a minimum-security facility with far lighter conditions. Bureau of Prisons policy typically bars sex offenders from being housed in minimum-security camps, making the sequence of Maxwell's reclassifications appear suspect. Reports also surfaced that internal lockdowns and security disruptions accompanied her movements, implying that special accommodations were being made for her safety and privacy. Legal observers and victims' advocates condemned the decisions as evidence of ongoing preferential treatment, saying it sends a dangerous message that elite offenders continue to receive leniency unavailable to ordinary inmates.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jhonny tenía apenas 18 años cuando cometió su primer y único delito: robar un auto. La sentencia: 21 años de prisión. Un instante que definió toda su vida.00:00:00 - 00:02:22 18 años, un robo, 21 años de condena / 18 years old, one robbery, 21-year sentence00:02:22 - 00:06:48 Me junté a los 13 y me auto-secuestré /  I moved in with her at 13 and faked my own kidnapping00:06:48 - 00:13:11 La decisión: robar un auto por amor /  The decision: stealing a car for love00:13:11 - 00:21:00 Mi ex me abandonó estando preso / My ex abandoned me while I was locked up00:21:00 - 00:30:58 La cárcel me hizo madurar / Prison made me grow up---------------------Johnny was barely 18 years old when he committed his first and only crime: stealing a car. The sentence: 21 years in prison. One moment that defined his entire life.---------------------En este episodio de Penitencia, Jhonny nos enfrenta a una pregunta incómoda: ¿debe un error juvenil pagarse con toda una vida tras las rejas? Su historia nos obliga a repensar la justicia, la proporcionalidad de las condenas y las segundas oportunidades.La adrenalina, las malas amistades y la presión de cumplir expectativas materiales lo llevaron a tomar un arma y subirse a ese auto. Su madre le había advertido esa misma mañana: "pórtate bien". Él respondió: "quiero vivir mi vida loca".Hoy, con más de 50 tatuajes que narran su historia de rebeldía y aprendizaje, Jhonny reflexiona sobre cómo una sola decisión lo apartó de todo. La cárcel le enseñó a madurar, a valorar lo que antes despreciaba. Su madre, quien juró nunca visitarlo en prisión, ha estado en cada visita durante cinco años y medio. Su ex pareja, por quien arriesgó todo, lo abandonó y formó una familia con otro hombre.---------------------In this episode of Penitencia, Johnny makes us face an uncomfortable question: should a teenage mistake cost someone their entire life behind bars? His story forces us to rethink justice, proportional sentencing, and second chances.The adrenaline, bad friends, and pressure to meet material expectations led him to grab a gun and get in that car. His mother had warned him that same morning: "behave yourself." He answered: "I want to live my crazy life."Today, with over 50 tattoos that tell his story of rebellion and lessons learned, Johnny reflects on how one single decision took everything away from him. Prison taught him to grow up, to value what he used to take for granted. His mother, who swore she'd never visit him in prison, has been there every visiting day for five and a half years. His ex-girlfriend, the one he risked everything for, left him and started a family with another man.---------------------Para ver episodios exclusivos, entra aquí: https://www.patreon.com/Penitencia_mx¿Quieres ver los episodios antes que nadie?

According to a new bombshell report, survivors inside women's prisons in Idaho say they endured years of sexual abuse from staff. But when they sought help, complaints disappeared, investigations went nowhere, and retaliation became routine. Investigate West journalist Whitney Bryen joins host Lindsay Van Allen to break down her year-long investigation, look at how this culture of abuse and cover-up was allowed to thrive, and discuss what it will take to change it.  Want some more Boise news?

This is the 52nd episode in the “Prison Pulpit” series on the China Compass podcast! I started in mid-October of last year. Today's episode starts with remembering Pastor Wang Yi, and then we look at the remarkable similarities in the legacies of Charlie Kirk and the millionaire missionary, William Borden, and how we ought to pray in the aftermath of the death of our heroes in the faith. Enjoy! Bill & Charlie: To Die Is Gain: https://chinacall.substack.com/p/bill-and-charlie-to-die-is-gain (Follow and/or message me on Twitter/X (@chinaadventures) where I post (among other things) daily reminders to pray for China.You can also email me @ bfwesten at gmail dot com. Last but not least, to learn more about our ministry endeavors or get one of my missionary biographies, visit PrayGiveGo.us!) It All Started With Wang Yi I want to start out today by going back to Pastor Wang Yi. It’s been awhile since I looked specifically at any of his writings leading up to his imprisonment (we don’t have any from his time in prison), but his story was the reason why I considered starting this special Prison Pulpit series to begin with. Wang Yi's Prison Preaching Plan (Here's the very first Prison Pulpit!) https://pubtv.flfnetwork.com/tabs/the-pub/podcasts/30293/episodes/30 In the coming months, as the anniversary of his arrest and the forced closure of Early Rain church approaches, we will go back over much of what was written during that tumultuous time in late 2018. But for now, let me just encourage you, using an inverse of Hebrews 13:3, not to FORGET Pastor Wang Yi! Continue to remember him in prayer and intercession, attempting to place yourself in his shoes so that you might pray relevant prayers that he would want you to pray. There’s no way to know for sure, but half an hour spent imagining what it would be like to spend nearly a decade in a Chinese Communist prison will probably give some perspective on prayer that you would probably otherwise lack. Bill & Charlie: To Die Is Gain https://chinacall.substack.com/p/bill-and-charlie-to-die-is-gain Now there is still hope that Wang Yi will be released here in a couple of years, but what should we do when there is no hope of release, or when we suspect the person we are praying for has been killed, or (as in the case of Charlie Kirk) when a Christian leader has indeed been martyred for the cause of Christ? That’s what I want to talk about today, in part by walking through an article I just published on my substack (ChinaCall.Substack.com) yesterday on what would’ve been the 32nd birthday of Charlie Kirk. How do we pray, not for the dead themselves, but for their godly legacies to continue to make an impact for generations to come. William Borden is a great example of this, and in this article I compare and contrast his life and legacy with that of Charlie Kirk. The resemblances are remarkable.

Bryan Kohberger is reportedly facing major challenges inside Idaho's maximum-security prison — but that's not the only controversy. Steve and Alivea Goncalves, father and sister of victim Kaylee Goncalves, say they're outraged over Lifetime's upcoming film Ripped From the Headlines, which dramatizes the University of Idaho murders without the families' consent. They call it “deeply upsetting and exploitative,” saying their loved ones are “not headlines or entertainment.” Meanwhile, reports suggest Kohberger is “struggling” behind bars, reportedly vocal about his rights and clashing with prison life.

Lawrence Wright is an author, screenwriter, playwright, and a staff writer for The New Yorker magazine. He won the Pulitzer Prize for his 2006 book The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11. Most recently, filmmaker Alex Gibney directed an HBO documentary based on Wright's reporting in Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Unbelief. Much of Wright's work is about how religious belief animates personal action and political conflict. He has documented the Jonestown massacre, explored allegations of Satan worship, profiled brimstone-tinged gospel preachers, and, of course, tracked the histories of al-Qaeda and the Church of Scientology. Regarding the latter, he isn't necessarily sympathetic to the Church's claims, but he understands its appeal. "People don't go into it because it's a cult, they go into it because they're looking for something," says Wright. "It's like going into therapy; people do benefit from it." "But it's one thing to get into it, it's another thing to get out of it." Originally aired April 14, 2015See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
