Dr. Becky Fenton started her career as a psychologist at Sing Sing Correctional Facility before being recruited to Rikers Island to supervise its psychiatric division — one of the largest and most challenging mental health systems in the country. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Becky breaks down what it was really like working inside one of America's most notorious jail systems from the other side of the cell door. She opens up about the violence and instability inside Rikers, the trauma on both sides of the system, her role in implementing Crisis Intervention Training for mental health emergencies, and what it takes to stay grounded when the environment around you is anything but. _____________________________________________ #RikersIsland #PrisonPsychology #TrueCrime _____________________________________________ Connect with Dr Becky Fenton: https://www.longislandpsychologyandconsulting.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 From Prison Psychologist to Private Practice — Her Story 01:48 The Early Influences and Personality That Led Her to This Work 03:37 The Education and Career Shift Nobody Expected 06:00 How She Ended Up as a Psychologist Inside Prison 08:49 Sing Sing vs Rikers Island — The Differences Nobody Talks About 11:16 Mental Health Inside Prison vs Mental Health in Hospitals — The Reality Gap 14:24 When Security and Mental Health Priorities Collide — Who Wins 18:18 Safety Violence and What It Really Takes to Advocate for Staff 20:59 How Trauma Shapes Inmate Behavior — What Most People Get Wrong 24:15 Vicarious Trauma — What Working in Prison Does to the Staff 27:15 Crisis Intervention and Deescalation — What Actually Works Behind Bars 32:33 What a Typical Day Really Looks Like Working at Rikers Island 36:31 Suicide Watch and What Inmate Care Actually Involves 39:12 Male vs Female Jails — The Shocking Differences Nobody Discusses 44:01 A Complete Day Inside Rikers Island — Hour by Hour Reality 47:20 What Destroys New Staff and How to Survive the First Year 53:01 The Truth About Solitary Confinement — What the Research Actually Shows 56:01 Rehabilitation vs Punishment — Which One Actually Works 01:00:41 Medication Management and What Happens to Inmates at Discharge 01:03:41 The Non Clinical Duties Nobody Warns You About in Federal Systems 01:06:50 How She Switched Off After Working in One of the World's Most Stressful Environments 01:10:14 The Programs and Therapy Practices That Actually Make a Difference 01:13:11 Why She Finally Left Rikers Island — The Real Reason 01:16:12 Private Practice and Why She Still Advocates for Prison Reform 01:19:01 What She Would Tell Her Younger Self — Final Thoughts _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Caroline made it alone during a residency in Ucross, Wyoming - improvising and recording in a cabin, using prepared saxophone techniques and a unique little instrument called an Organelle to process and build sounds she'd never put to tape before.

We are live at sea aboard Cayamo 2026 with Abraham Alexander & Kashus Culpepper! The pair had not met prior, but we found a couple of very cool parallels between them, so we decided to interview them together. Plus, we knew it would be more fun to have them both up on stage in front of an audience. Abraham, based in Ft. Worth and originally from Greece, has had an impressive rise in profile thanks to opportunities from friends like Leon Bridges, Gary Clark, Jr., and Adrian Quesada (Black Pumas). Quesada actually worked with Abe on the song "Like a Bird," which was nominated for an Oscar for its inclusion in the deeply moving 2023 film 'Sing Sing.' Navy veteran Kashus Culpepper, born and raised in Alexander City, Alabama, grew up singing in church and learned to play guitar while deployed in Spain. His deployment actually occurred during the pandemic in 2020; left with nothing to do and nowhere to go, he spent his time learning guitar, drinking plenty of sangria, and playing for his fellow sailors (who would also be enjoying said sangria).Abe and Kash have a few things in common that we discuss: their emotive and boisterous singing voices, learning guitar as adults, intense histories with sports, and, of course, being very handsome. We introduce our conversation with the two musicians as "Handsome Club," (a shout out to Lizzie No's OnlyFans handle, @handsomelizzie) and ask them to speak about their relationship with beauty. After ensuring them that we were for real, they spoke of beauty found in the process of turning pain into something positive, and how confidence in yourself is everything. We have some poignant moments and some major laughs that are enhanced by an awesome crowd. Thanks to everyone on board Cayamo for making the first meeting of Handsome Club so successful!Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknewsHelp produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/Interested in sponsoring us?

WELCOME BACK LAMBS!This week on The Obsessed Podcast, Gareth & Ghia dive into one of the most revealing and emotionally charged chapters of Mariah Carey's autobiography, ‘The Meaning of Mariah Carey' — the section known as “Sing Sing.”This part of the memoir doesn't literally center on prison, but the title evokes something just as intense: emotional confinement, control, and survival. Mariah opens up about a period in her life where fame, power dynamics, and personal relationships created a sense of entrapment that was both psychological and deeply personal. It's a raw exploration of what it means to lose autonomy while the world sees only glamour.We unpack how Mariah uses metaphor and memory to describe this chapter, highlighting her resilience, her evolving sense of identity, and the quiet strength that carried her through. The conversation also touches on how this period shaped her artistry and public persona — and why reclaiming her narrative matters so much.Expect thoughtful analysis, a bit of Lamb perspective, and an honest look at the complexities behind one of pop culture's most iconic voices. This isn't just a story about fame and fortune — it's about survival, self-definition, and ultimately, freedom.Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe to The Obsessed Podcast wherever you get your podcasts, and follow along on social media @the_obsessed_podcast for updates and more Lambily discussions.

Emilio Pucci: The Astonishing Odyssey of a Fashion Icon . The book has received glowing reviews from The New York Times, Vogue, Publishers Weekly, and more.When people think of fashion designer Emilio Pucci, it is of his bright, swirling colors and easy, freeing fabrics, and everyone from Sophia Loren to Jackie Kennedy donning the eye-catching dresses that personify La Dolce Vita. What few know about Pucci, however, is that before creating his world-famous fashions, he played a critical role in the war against the Nazis, risking his life to smuggle out to the Allies one of the most important documents of World War II.The authors bring to life Italy's darkest and brightest days, with the extraordinary Emilio Pucci at its center. Italy at the end of the war was broken, and Florence, which the Pucci family had called home for seven centuries, lay in ruins. Pucci returned home bruised in body and soul, having endured trials that would have broken many, but, like Italy itself, rose from the ashes, and went on to design some of the most exuberant fashion of all time. He helped usher in a new era of creativity in Italy, which again became a mecca of fashion, art, design, film, and more.About the authors:Idanna Pucci is the author of The Lady of Sing Sing and The World Odyssey of a Balinese Prince. Idanna grew up in the Pucci palace, eyewitness to her uncle's extraordinary work. She and Terence have had far flung lives, from Iran to Indonesia. They live in Florence.Terence Ward is the author of Searching for Hassan: A Journey to the Heart of Iran and The Guardian of Mercy: How an Extraordinary Painting by Caravaggio Changed an Ordinary Life.#speakingofwriterspodcast #authorpodcast #authors #stmartinspublishing #italy #florenceitaly #emiliopucci#bookpodcast

(75 Aniversario de la Condena a Muerte de Julius y Ethel Rosenberg por Espionaje) Cuando Julius y Ethel Rosenberg se casaron en 1939, los dos ya eran miembros activos del Partido Comunista de los Estados Unidos de América. Pero a nadie se le hubiera ocurrido que llegarían a ser los primeros civiles de su país condenados a muerte por espionaje, y los primeros en ser sancionados por ese delito en tiempos de paz. La Segunda Guerra Mundial, que estalló el mismo año en que se casaron, ya había dado paso a la Guerra Fría cuando fueron arrestados y acusados de ser espías de la Unión Soviética en 1950. El proceso judicial contra los esposos Rosenberg comenzó el 6 de marzo de 1951. Causó gran sensación en todo el mundo, pues se les acusó de divulgar secretos incluso sobre armas nucleares. Un mes más tarde, el 5 de abril, luego de ser hallados culpables y de optar por no decir nada en su defensa, el juez Irving Kaufman, antes de imponerles a ambos la pena de muerte, emitió el siguiente juicio personal: «Yo considero que su delito es peor que el homicidio.... Estoy convencido, sin duda alguna, de que son culpables. He investigado los antecedentes legales y he examinado mi conciencia a fin de hallar alguna razón para conceder misericordia, ya que lo humano es ser misericordioso y es natural tratar de salvar vidas. Sin embargo, estoy convencido de que violaría la confianza solemne y sagrada que el pueblo de esta nación ha depositado en mis manos si yo mostrara indulgencia a [estos] acusados.... Yo no tengo la facultad, Julius y Ethel Rosenberg, de perdonarlos. Sólo Dios puede conceder misericordia para lo que ustedes han hecho.»1 Durante los siguientes dos años, el fallo fue apelado ante los altos tribunales y también fue analizado ampliamente por el tribunal de la opinión pública internacional. Uno de los factores en tela de juicio era la presunta imparcialidad del juez Kaufman por haber considerado que eran culpables de un «delito peor que el homicidio». La Corte Suprema de Justicia atendió siete recursos de apelación, pero fueron denegados los siete. Y tanto el presidente Harry Truman como el presidente Dwight Eisenhower denegaron las peticiones de clemencia presidencial. Ante el fracaso de una campaña a nivel mundial que pedía misericordia en su favor, los esposos Rosenberg fueron ejecutados en la Prisión Sing Sing de Nueva York el 19 de junio de 1953. Así como a los espías Rosenberg, también a cada uno de nosotros se nos ha hallado culpable de un delito que lleva la condena de muerte. Ese delito es el pecado. Pero Dios, el presidente sobre todos los presidentes del mundo, consciente de que lo que necesitamos es misericordia y no justicia, envió a su Hijo Jesucristo al mundo para que muriera en nuestro lugar. Ahora, con base en esa expiación de nuestro pecado, Él nos ofrece su perdón divino y, en vez de una condena de muerte, la vida eterna.2 Así que no tenemos que esperar, como los Rosenberg, a que se nos dicte sentencia. Podemos, más bien, anticiparnos al día del Juicio Final, pidiéndole a Dios perdón hoy mismo y recibiendo así su misericordia divina.3 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Martin J.

Grigoroff would be freed instead of facing third trial A plea deal offered by the Putnam County district attorney on Tuesday (March 31) would free a former Lake Peekskill man twice convicted in the 2008 killing of Philipstown resident John Marcinak. A state appeals court ruled in December that Anthony Grigoroff deserved a third trial after he had been convicted in 2010 and again in 2017 of shooting Marcinak at his business, Garrison Garage, on Route 9 on Dec. 31, 2008. Prosecutors and defense attorneys met privately on Tuesday with Judge Joseph Spofford, then returned to the courtroom to announce a deal in which Grigoroff would plead guilty to second-degree attempted burglary rather than be tried for a third time for second-degree murder. The maximum sentence for the burglary charge is seven years. Grigoroff, who has been imprisoned since 2010, would be sentenced to time served and released, said Bruce Barket, one of his attorneys. He said the defense team would consider the offer while he reviewed evidence recently shared by the DA's office. Spofford scheduled the next hearing for April 21. The offer came three months after a state appeals court concluded that Judge Edward McLoughlin deprived Grigoroff of a fair trial in 2017, when a jury convicted him of killing Marcinak at a retrial. The only evidence presented by the prosecution was a confession by Grigoroff following what defense attorneys said was a 12-hour interrogation. The appeals court found that McLoughlin, a Dutchess judge who had been assigned the case, erred by limiting testimony from an expert witness who determined that Grigoroff "is more vulnerable than the average person to falsely confessing." That expert wanted to cite research from the Innocence Project, which at the time found that 25 percent of people exonerated through DNA evidence had confessed, along with another study by the University of Michigan Law School on the prevalence of false confessions, particularly by people with intellectual disabilities or mental illnesses. But McLoughlin "improperly concluded that those studies were not relevant to the defendant and the interrogation" because the case did not involve DNA and despite Grigoroff having "an IQ lower than 93 percent of individuals in his age group," according to the decision. McLoughlin also allowed testimony from a prosecution witness that research on false confessions was "scant" and that studies of their nexus with "psychological vulnerabilities was a 'primitive subdiscipline.' " The defense expert testified in a video recording played in court because McLoughlin ordered the trial to begin when the expert could not appear, noted the appeals judges. Because "the sole evidence is the defendant's confession and the crux of the defense was the testimony of an expert in false confessions … the errors had the cumulative effect of depriving the defendant of his due process right to a fair trial," according to the decision. After the December ruling, the Putnam DA's office refiled second-degree murder and burglary charges against Grigoroff, who has been held at the county jail since being transferred from Sing Sing. Danielle Muscatello, another of Grigoroff's attorneys, said in January that two families have been victimized — the Marcinaks, "because I don't think they ever got the justice they deserved," and the Grigoroffs. At the 2010 trial, a jury found Grigoroff guilty of second-degree murder, criminal possession of a weapon and attempted burglary. Judge James Reitz sentenced him to 25 years to life in prison. In his statement to investigators, Grigoroff, then 19, said he drove to the Garrison Garage with his identical twin, Erick, and a friend, Byron Mountain, on Dec. 31, 2008, because the three men planned to rob the business to get a few hundred dollars to party in Manhattan on New Year's Eve. He insisted that it was Mountain who shot Marcinak while he waited in the car, and Erick served as a lookout. Grigoroff also alleges that inves...

The meditative drama "Train Dreams" follows a logger in the Northwest at the turn of the century dealing with loss and a quickly changing industrial landscape. It won a Critic's Choice for Best Cinematography and is garnering Oscar buzz for actor Joel Edgerton, who plays the protagonist. It was directed by Clint Bentley who also wrote and directed the acclaimed film "Sing Sing." Both join to discuss.

のぞみの年間ベストは、立川談春の古典落語「鼠穴」。30円の“貸し方”が突きつけるのは、優しさと残酷さの境界、そして「相手の尊厳を傷つけてでも変化を促すこと」はあり得るのか、という問い。後半はみきが、映画『教皇選挙』の“中間管理職映画”としての面白さと映像美、さらに『落下の王国』4Kリマスターの圧巻ビジュアルを語る。以下、事前メモみき本AはアセクシュアルのA菜食主義イリナグリゴレさんのエッセイ世界99恥辱朝と夜夏蜜柑とソクラテス友達じゃないかもしれない映画ワンアフターバトルアナザー教皇選挙落下の王国アノーラ漫画ころがるきょうだいローズロージィローズフルバッドゲキドウ演劇あんまりいい芝居に出会えなかったやみ・あがりシアターヌトミックのアクセシビリティ旅カナダでオーロラを見た！バルト3国に行けた！北欧は来年にでもお買い物リピしたいのぞみ本/マンガ好き嫌いと経営High Conflict よい対立 悪い対立 世界を二極化させないためにエネルギーをめぐる旅最後の喫煙者 自選ドタバタ傑作集1亜空間不動産株式会社余白の芸術生きる言葉深夜特急1~6ケインとアベル銀と金/ナニワ金融道映画教皇選挙SING SING劇場立川談春 独演会「鼠穴 落語」千原ジュニアの座王　ｉｎ日本武道館さらば単独「八百長」銀シャリ単独「純米大吟醸」体験ダイアローグインザダーク旅アイスランド

Ein frohes Neues, ihr Lieben. Und: Endspurt. Willkommen (zurück) zu unserem JAHRESRÜCKBLICK TEIL 2. Soll heißen: Etienne, Antje, Thilo und Schröck haben jeweils eine TOP 10 mit den ihrer Meinung nach besten Filmen des Jahres erstellt und die gehen sie jetzt Punkt für Punkt durch, um wie gewohnt eine redaktionelle Rangliste zu generieren. Und wie so oft zuvor haben wir das alles in zwei Etappen aufgezeichnet, so dass es heute dann um die Plätze 5 bis 1 geht. Deswegen halten wir es jetzt in diesen Zeilen auch so spannend wie möglich, auf dass es unklar bleibt, welcher Film denn nun ganz oben auf dem Treppchen gelandet ist. Wird es WEAPONS - DIE STUNDE DES VERSCHWINDENS sein? Oder FLOW? Was haben HELDIN, THE UGLY STEPSISTER, die Neuauflage von NOSFERATU oder ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER für Chancen? Wie steht's um Familienfreundliches wie ZOOMANIA 2 oder DIE DREI ??? UND DER KARPATENHUND? Oder gelingt am Ende tatsächlich einem Außenseiter wie WARFARE, wie SING SING, wie THE SECRET AGENT, SIRAT, wie dem jüngsten Guadagnino AFTER THE HUNT oder gar CODE 3 so eine richtige Überraschung? Findet es heraus und habt viel Spaß mit einem hoffentlich feinen Kater-Programm für den Neujahrsschädel. Oder eben diesem zweiten Teil. Ansonsten bleibt auch in diesem Jahr bitte so gesund wie gut drauf, vielen Dank von uns allen für Eure Treue und hoffen wir auf ein gutes Jahr 2026. In diesem Sinne: Cheers.

On this episode, We are on Day 6!! We continue the 12 Pods of Christmas with the breakdown/review of Sing Sing. We also get a bit reflective. Hosted by Nero Von Doom aka Joe. Why Not Me??!! This is We Family Son!!

“Wake me when there's a yield. Until then, it's just electronic tulips with a nice PR team,” said a junk-bond trader I slept with in the '80s, who later asked me about Bitcoin from Sing Sing.This post, like my period, is three months late and  yet another matter AI cannot solve, given my procrastination and sheer laziness. I remind you: I do not have a job, but I also do not have access to cash due to my husband's mob ties. Crypto solves this.Luckily I'm not pregnant, because I can't deal with the weight gain  and no, my lack of blood is not age-related, thank you very much. I've simply been doing laps every morning in the jail swimming pool with some of the loveliest felons from the heyday of trad-fi in the '80s. Whoever claimed crypto had the most criminals clearly never lived through the Boiler Room years of slicked-back junk-bond bros whose foreplay consisted of a dry finger-bang while saying things like “financed raider” and “ramping the stock.” Even after all that, I still can't handle the on-chain mess we have today. Stress level: high.Between Bitcoin's drastic drop blasting through my alimony and child support; yes, I asked for the funds to be in Bitcoin, and yes, that day happened to land on October 10, which historically is the worst week for us Jews,  I remain violently underwhelmed by machine learning.I instead cling to my hardcore, conservative, maximalist American values: the Bitcoin white paper, my Bible pure and pristine collateral with no need for interference. Much like my engagement ring, which was a gift. In this season of greetings, it's important to remember what we're grateful for. My list has been the same since I was thirteen years old: cigarettes, private jets, and Xanax.I digress.My guest today is the following Ivy League contemporary: Kyle O'Brien. He almost married my sister, which would have been awkward given the throbbing sexual tension permeating this episode. I am in awe of Kyle  due to  his knowledge, his Frenchness, his homoerotic encryption, and his commitment to longevity in a country where the biggest moneymaker is suicide prevention and Lexapro. Kyle is hot. Kyle is smart. He is also, allegedly, best friends with Biggie, Tupac, and Pavarotti from his stint at RapGenius.He is the primary advisor to the Founder & CEO of Zama AI. He is co-pilot on strategy, execution, startup acceleration, partnerships, growth experiments, new ventures, and “special projects that are not drugs. .Zama is an open-source cryptography company building state-of-the-art Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) solutions for blockchain and AI  basically wizard-level math that lets machines compute on encrypted data without ever seeing it. I promise you I wont need it. You might tho. Support the show

A maximum-security prison may not seem like the natural setting for a homegrown theater program. But at Sing Sing Prison in New York, just such a project has inspired scores of incarcerated men to learn and grow through the stories they step into—offering them the chance to be part of a supportive community and equipping them with life skills to carry home when they return to the world outside. People in prison are more than just prisoners, and the Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA) program continues to help participants discover new strengths through creative expression. In today's episode, Michael Semanchik welcomes John “Divine G” Whitfield and Clarence “Divine Eye” Maclin—both former inmates, RTA members, and actors in the Oscar-nominated film Sing Sing—to talk about their experiences on the inside. They discuss the film project and its ability to teach the outside world about the transformative power of community, art, vulnerability, and purpose. Creativity and storytelling can restore dignity, bridge divides, and reveal the humanity that is too often overlooked within the prison system.  Please visit www.FreeDivineG.org to learn the details of John “Divine G" Whitfield's fight for exoneration. John “Divine G" Whitfield is an Oscar-nominated adapted screenplay writer, executive producer, and the compelling inspiration behind the critically acclaimed, multiple Oscar-nominated film, Sing Sing.  Oscar Nominee Clarence Maclin starred in the feature film Sing Sing, inspired by his life story as a graduate of Sing Sing's Rehabilitation Through the Arts program. Divine G and Clarence are friends to another former Sing Sing and RTA-involved inmate, Jon-Adrian “JJ” Velazquez, whose long and arduous exoneration was shared in our last episode.

Luke joins the show again from New York City, where he spent the night in Sing Sing (the karaoke bar, not the prison.) He also got Roy Donked at a famous jazz club. He and Andrew discuss the disastrous decision that Colin Jost and Pete Davidson made regarding a boat, which seems very relatable for some reason. And a recent reveal about the Louvre's security password is possibly even more relatable. 

John J. Lennon is a prison journalist who is currently serving a 25-year sentence in Sing Sing prison in New York. His work has been featured by such leading publications as New York Review of Books, The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, Esquire, Rolling Stone, and New York magazine. John's new book is The Tragedy of True Crime. John shares his surreal experience of being on a book tour while inside prison and reflects on his own personal experiences with the "true crime" genre. He also warns about the seductive nature -- and problematic relationship these shows have with reality -- of The First 48, Law and Order, Cops, and others in the reality TV show - crime entertainment genre. John explains how his new book goes beyond the sensationalistic headlines and explores the human side and complexity of four men who have been convicted of murder. Robert Chambers, the so-called “Preppy Killer” of 1980s tabloid fame Milton E. Jones, drawn from petty crime into tragedy as a teenager Michael Shane Hale, a gay man facing the death penalty after a crime of passion Lennon himself, who discovered his voice as a writer while serving time for murder Chauncey DeVega shares what it is like in Chicago as Trump's DHS/ICE immigration dragnet "Operation Midway Blitz" and threats of a National Guard "invasion” have created a climate that feels ripped from a bad dystopian movie. To better understand who would want to take a job working for DHS/ICE as one of its enforcers, Chauncey shares a very important news story from the Intercept where they interview people at a job fair for that government agency. And Chauncey DeVega goes to the local cineplex and reviews three new films: Tron: Ares, The Smashing Machine starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Paul Thomas Anderson's essential document and cultural artifact of this era One Battle After Another.

This Day in Legal History: Supreme Court Denies Cert for RosenbergsOn October 13, 1952, the United States Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who had been convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage by passing atomic secrets to the Soviet Union. The couple had been sentenced to death in 1951 following a high-profile trial that captivated Cold War-era America. The Rosenbergs' appeal was their final attempt to overturn the conviction and avoid execution. By denying certiorari, the Supreme Court allowed their death sentences to stand without offering an opinion on the merits of the case.The decision intensified public debate over the fairness of their trial, with critics arguing that anti-communist hysteria had tainted the proceedings and supporters maintaining that the punishment fit the crime. Nearly a year later, on June 17, 1953, Justice William O. Douglas granted a temporary stay of execution after a new legal argument was raised involving the application of the Atomic Energy Act. However, the full Court reconvened in an emergency session and voted to vacate Douglas's stay the next day.The Rosenbergs were executed by electric chair at Sing Sing prison on June 19, 1953, marking the first and only time American civilians were executed for espionage during peacetime. Their case remains controversial, with questions still surrounding the extent of Ethel's involvement and the fairness of the trial. Over time, declassified documents, including material from the Venona project, have confirmed Julius's espionage activities but left lingering doubts about Ethel's role and the proportionality of her sentence.California enacted a new law (A.B. 931) that prohibits in-state lawyers and law firms from sharing contingency fees with out-of-state alternative business structures (ABS)—firms that are owned by non-lawyers. The bill, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, directly impacts litigation funding operations and firms based in states like Arizona, which began allowing non-lawyer ownership in 2021. Originally broader in scope, the bill was narrowed to specifically ban contingent fee sharing, a common payment model in mass tort and personal injury cases.The move is expected to disrupt partnerships between California lawyers and ABS firms in jurisdictions like Arizona, Utah, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Critics argue the law may harm both legal practitioners and consumers by limiting access to capital and cross-border collaboration. Amendments to the bill in August preserved certain flat fee and fixed fee arrangements, allowing some limited forms of financial collaboration to continue. KPMG, which recently launched a law firm in Arizona, declined to comment on whether the new restrictions would impact its plans to partner with attorneys nationwide.California Bans Contingent Fee Sharing With ‘Alternative' FirmsThe U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit denied the Trump administration's emergency request to deploy National Guard troops to Illinois, upholding a lower court's temporary block on the mobilization. The deployment plan included troops from the Texas National Guard, aimed at supporting federal agents during recent protests in the Chicago area. However, the court allowed those already present in Illinois to remain, pending further legal developments.U.S. District Judge April Perry had earlier questioned the administration's claims that troops were necessary to protect federal personnel from violent unrest, citing a lack of clear justification. Her order blocking the deployment is set to last until at least October 23, with the possibility of extension. Similar legal challenges are unfolding elsewhere, including in Oregon, where another judge blocked troop deployments to Portland. That ruling, however, may be overturned by a different appellate court.Democratic governors in affected states have argued that the administration exaggerated threats from largely peaceful protests to justify military action. A court in Los Angeles also ruled a previous deployment illegal, though that decision is on hold pending appeal. Under U.S. law, the National Guard typically operates under state control during domestic missions, making federal involvement a contentious legal issue.Appeals court rejects Trump request to deploy National Guard in Chicago area | ReutersFederal courts in New England—particularly in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Maine—have emerged as strategic venues for legal challenges against President Donald Trump's policies since his return to office in January 2025. A Reuters analysis found at least 72 lawsuits targeting Trump's policies filed in these four states, with trial judges ruling against the administration in 46 out of 51 cases decided so far. These challenges include efforts to block the administration's actions on deportations, federal education cuts, changes to birthright citizenship, and fast-tracked deportations to unstable third countries like South Sudan.The region's courts fall under the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which has all five of its active judges appointed by Democratic presidents. Litigants see these courts as favorable due to their composition—17 of 20 active trial judges in the region are also Democratic appointees. Judges like William Young in Boston and Allison Burroughs have issued high-profile rulings against Trump, with Young warning of threats to constitutional values and Burroughs urging courts to defend free speech. Judge John McConnell in Rhode Island has also issued significant decisions, such as blocking a sweeping federal funding freeze.While the 1st Circuit has mostly upheld lower court rulings against Trump, the Supreme Court—dominated by a 6-3 conservative majority—has stepped in multiple times to stay or reverse those decisions. Still, the administration has not appealed every ruling, allowing some key decisions to remain in place, including those affecting mail-in ballot rules and funding for arts groups and Head Start programs. Democratic attorneys general are actively choosing New England courts for their reliability, with one noting that “you kind of know what you're getting.”New England courts become a battleground for challenges to Trump | Reuters This is a public episode.

On this week's episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Katherine Vockins — founder of Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA). Katherine is a changemaker, visionary, and advocate who saw the power of the arts to transform lives — even behind prison walls. In 1996, she walked into Sing Sing Correctional Facility to support a group of men who wanted to put on a play, and from that spark, Rehabilitation Through the Arts was born. Nearly three decades later, RTA has grown into a thriving nonprofit that now operates in multiple prisons across New York State and elsewhere — and their reach continues to grow. Through programs in theater, dance, music, creative writing, and visual arts, RTA helps incarcerated men and women develop critical life skills, heal from trauma, and discover their full potential. The results are astounding: while the national recidivism rate hovers around 60 percent, fewer than 3 percent of RTA alumni return to prison. RTA's inspiring story has reached even more people through the Oscar-nominated film Sing Sing, which was inspired by the program and features both professional actors and RTA alumni. Katherine's work is about dignity, humanity, and the belief that every life has value and the capacity to change. In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ Katherine's journey to founding Rehabilitation Through the Arts; ✨ How the arts empower incarcerated men and women to grow, heal, and transform their lives; ✨ The real impact of RTA — including why participants are so much less likely to return to prison; ✨ Stories of hope, redemption, and second chances from inside prison walls; ✨ How the film Sing Sing shines a light on this powerful work; ✨ And how you can support RTA and be part of this movement for change.

Colman Domingo got an Oscar nod for his portrayal of John “Divine G” Whitfield in Greg Kwedar's film based on the real-life Rehabilitation Through the Arts programme (RTA) at America's Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison. Domingo is just one of a handful of professional actors starring alongside real-life alumni of RTA, a programme which gives them a sense of purpose and a close-knit group of friends. Yosra loved it when she saw it on its UK release last summer, but will Hannah and Mick feel the same? Could there even be tears in Dunleavyville?  Learn more about your ad choices.
