Former bank robber Joe Loya reveals how childhood trauma transformed him into a prolific criminal — and how he found his way back. [Part 1 of 2]Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1264What We Discuss with Joe Loya:Childhood trauma doesn't excuse criminal behavior, but it explains how violence becomes normalized. Joe's father beat him over 100 times before age 15, creating a psychological framework where aggression felt like the only authentic response to a world that had brutalized him first.Bank robbery became a twisted form of therapy — a way to reclaim power stolen in childhood. Joe describes the "rapture" of robberies as moments where he finally felt in control, transforming victim psychology into predator psychology through carefully orchestrated criminal acts.Solitary confinement can either break you or remake you. Joe spent seven years total in "the hole." Rather than destroying him, isolation became an unexpected crucible for self-reflection, forcing him to confront the rage he'd been running from his entire life.The most dangerous lies we tell are the ones we believe about ourselves. Joe constructed elaborate internal narratives justifying his crimes as righteous rebellion, only recognizing decades later how childhood shame had corrupted his entire moral operating system.Redemption isn't about erasing your past — it's about transforming it into something useful. Joe now channels his understanding of trauma, violence, and recovery into writing and speaking, proving that even the darkest experiences can become tools for helping others navigate their own shadows.And much more...

Leilani and Kimberlyn share the ways one can find a circle with which a witch can practice—both the old tried and true (“kickin' it old skool”) and digital-age methods—as well as evaluating what a circle can provide.Their check-ins:  Kimberlyn has learned that you can't make a bulldog do what a bulldog don't want to do; Leilani creates a personalized medical care spreadsheet and implements the insights she's gained through its data.Mentioned in the episode:  Kate Baer's poem, “Second Coming.”http://www.patreon.com/WitchyWit Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/WitchyWitPodcast Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/Witchy_Wit  Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3azUkFVlECTlTZQVX5jl1X?si=8WufnXueQrugGDIYWbgc3A  Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/witchy-wit/id1533482466 Pandora:https://pandora.app.link/nNsuNrSKneb  Google Podcast:Witchy Wit (google.com)

In this episode, we take a hard look at the second police interrogation of Richard Allen and the claims investigators made about ballistics evidence. Authorities described the forensic link between Allen's firearm and a bullet allegedly recovered near the Delphi crime scene as ironclad. But experts have repeatedly warned that this type of comparison is far more fragile than the public is led to believe. We break down why this ambiguity matters, how overstated science can shape an interrogation, and how investigators used these claims to amplify psychological pressure in the room. Despite being confronted with confident assertions about gun evidence, Allen maintained his innocence throughout questioning. His refusal to accept the narrative being pushed at him raises a deeper question: How much weight should be placed on a form of forensic testing that many specialists view as subjective at best? We also examine Allen's deteriorating mental state during more than a year spent in solitary confinement—conditions typically reserved for the most dangerous offenders, not individuals awaiting trial. His jailhouse phone calls reveal a man unraveling: confused, disoriented, desperate for relief. At his lowest moments, Allen even tells his wife he would falsely confess if it would end their suffering, highlighting the devastating psychological toll isolation can inflict. This episode forces listeners to confront uncomfortable truths about interrogation tactics, the limits of ballistics evidence, and the immense pressure a vulnerable suspect can face inside the criminal justice system. It's a stark reminder of how quickly the presumption of innocence can erode when a system leans harder on coercion than clarity. #DelphiCase #RichardAllen #TrueCrimeNews #BallisticsEvidence #InterrogationAnalysis #SolitaryConfinement #JusticeSystemFailure #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #DueProcessRights Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rhett reads the poem "One Solitary Life".Support the show

This week, We take time to remember why we do what we do here on Prison Focus Radio. We ground down into the importance of illuminating the voices, experience and wisdom of California's New Afrikan Political Prisoners, current, former and ancestral. We Remember as resistance to the state's erasure of Ourstory by hearing from unapologetic New Afrikan Revolutionaries who continue to assert their full humanity, speak truth and love up on the People – all oppressed People. Without their contribution, Ourstory is distorted and incomplete, and we risk disrespecting Our Elders who have paid a far too costly price for standing on Principal and refusing to bend their knee to the oppressor, all for Our benefit. Raise your consciousness above the fray and stand in solidarity with the People. Kan't stop, Won't stop All Power to the People Liberate Our Elders Free Africa! Free Palestine!

This week we take you on a ride making three stops to hear the voices of the press conference spotlighting the civil suit brought by New Afrikan Artivist Minister King against CDCr and the state of California for violating his First Amendment rights and he's challenging the merits of Penal Code 4571; next we'll hear an excerpt of a conversation between New Afrikan Political Prisoner Brotha LP and Educator Activist Ida McCray revealing a “master class” in the development of a traitor by Brotha LP; and lastly we'll hear an excerpt of a conversation with Queen Makini Iyapo on her journey to healing from the loss of her husband Yafeu Iyapo who died in an outside prison hospital after 50 years of captivity. Kan't stop, Won't stop All Power to the People Liberate Our Elders Free Africa! Free Palestine!

Four years after bombs were planted at DNC and RNC headquarters on January 5, 2021, the FBI just pinned it on Brian Cole—a reclusive autistic man who doesn't match the gait, height, or profile. Recovering FBI agent Kyle Seraphin, who ran surveillance one door away from real suspects before being ordered to stand down, says this is a blatant patsy job. Forensic gait analysis shows a 94–98% match to former Capitol Police officer (now CIA) Shauni Kerkhoff; USCP officers walked past the live DNC bomb to poke bushes the bomber sat in 17 hours earlier; cell-phone data was scrubbed, leads were buried. Seraphin pulls no punches: this smells like an inside false flag, and Trump's own DOJ is now helping seal the coffin.Right now—literally as this show airs—70-year-old cancer patient and election whistleblower Tina Peters is being marched back into solitary confinement in Colorado's La Vista prison: 22 hours a day in a filthy cell, lights on 24/7, no yard time, “for her safety.” This comes days after her pardon request landed on President Trump's desk and Harmeet Dhillon launched a formal investigation into Colorado's prison system. Seraphin connects the retaliation: the same Dominion images Tina preserved—now corroborated by a Venezuelan general's confession of foreign election meddling—make her a national-security asset, not a criminal. Yet Colorado's regime keeps tightening the screws while Judge Varholak shrugs and says “wait your turn.”Kyle Seraphin—husband, dad, Marine vet, and FBI whistleblower—comes locked and loaded with fresh intel, whistleblower coordination, and a no-compromise call to action. From crashing the White House switchboard to forcing congressional hearings, this is the time to break the silence. The fuse is lit. Listen hard, move fast, or we lose everything.

Today we hear Part 1 of New Afrikan Brotha Di'Ke's transformation from criminal thinking to revolutionary action. Sixteen years in on a 40 to life sentence, this young Brotha is a powerhouse of inspiration, motivation and purpose… His story is both a reflection and a manifestation of the recent historical activities of our New Afrikan Freedom Fighters and Political Prisoners. Let's get them home! Liberate our Elders! Kan't stop, Won't stop!

We hear Part 2 the report back from Brotha Di'Ke about the Come in Unity event and what transpired between inside organizers and creators and the prison officials- more shenanigans! And we'll hear how Brotha Di'Ke is in full Kan't stop, Won't stop mode. You don't want to miss this one! Liberate Our Elders! Kan't stop, Won't stop All Power to the People! Free Africa! Free Palestine!

Ablate before you radiate. Success with bone tumor ablation may have as much to do with your procedure technique as it does with your ability to collaborate. In this episode of BackTable MSK, interventional oncologist Dr. Damian Dupuy shares his approach to bone tumor ablation with host Dr. Kavi Krishnasamy, and offers practical advice on how to partner with your cancer care team to make ablation a viable treatment option. --- This podcast is supported by: Medtronic Osteocool https://www.medtronic.com/en-us/healthcare-professionals/products/surgical-energy/ablation/radiofrequency-ablation/systems/osteocool-2-0-bone-tumor-ablation-system.html --- SYNPOSIS The doctors review the history of bone ablation techniques, including radiofrequency and cryoablation modalities. They discuss the significance of targeting the bone-tumor interface for pain palliation and highlight several case studies to illustrate various techniques and successful outcomes.

Our pilgrim, Dante, calls the solitary lady over to him. She can't cross the stream that divides them, but she can dance in place before coming closer to him.All the while, the poet keeps darkening the poetry around her with threatening references in the pilgrim's mouth--that is, classical examples of profane love that end up in tragic circumstances.And all this, despite our poet quoting repeatedly from his rival poet's poem.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we watch meaning get thicker and thicker at the top of Mount Purgatory.If you'd like to help support this podcast by underwriting its many fees, please consider a one-time donation or a small monthly stipend, using this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:30] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXVIII, lines 43 - 66.

In this sermon we continue our series allowing some of the voices from the Philokalia to help us hear the gospel. Today we look at some verses from Matthew's gospel alongside some words from Isaiah the Solitary. We look at the story of Peter walking on and then sinking in the water not so much about Peter's lack of faith but about how Jesus is someone we can trust in the storm because of he is God in the flesh. We look at the story of Philippe Petit's high wire performance in New York City, why the water's are calm around God's throne in the book of Revelation, and what it has to do with guarding our hearts. May we encounter the crucified Christ raised from the dead in these words.

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. On Kamala Harris' book & Pete Buttigieg: do voters care about identity, or competency? P.S. 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.

Solitary confinement is the focus of a new court filing in a class-action lawsuit against San Diego County and the Sheriff's Office.A request for a preliminary injunction was filed in federal court last week asking a federal judge to limit how long people can be held in solitary confinement.More than a dozen people have described inhumane conditions inside separation cells in San Diego jails.We sit down with two reporters to discuss the details of the latest lawsuit and how we got here.Guests:Kelly Davis, investigative reporter, The San Diego Union-TribuneJeff McDonald, investigative reporter, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Wednesday Evening- Bro. Scott Crabtree- Mark 1:35-39

We continue our view into the unjust and deadly tactics of the California Department of Corrections and rehabilitation with the latest on New Afrikan Political Prisoner, Brotha LP's Racial Justice Act case; and New Afrikan Political Prisoner Brotha Balagoon's liberation campaign. As long as we turn a blind eye, a deaf ear or a silent voice to the crimes against the humanity of the people in prison deemed slaves of the state, we are complicit in these crimes and in our own oppression. Stand up for humanity. Be heard. Be educated. Be inspired to act. Kan't stop, Won't stop All Power to the People Liberate Our Elders Free Africa! Free Palestine!

In this episode of Case Studies, Casey is joined by John Jackson; a former gang leader who rose through the ranks of one of the most powerful prison organizations before choosing a path of transformation. From maximum security yards to solitary confinement at Pelican Bay, John shares how trauma, prison politics, and the underground economy shaped his life—and how entrepreneurship helped him rewrite it.He reveals how gangs inside prison operate like corporations, complete with hierarchies, rules, and revenue streams. John breaks down the incentives that drive violence and control, while also exposing the perverse economics of private prisons. His story shows how the same discipline and leadership that once sustained chaos can be redirected toward growth and purpose.From orchestrating survival in solitary to joining an in-prison entrepreneurship program, John and Casey explore the pivotal moments that shifted his trajectory. This conversation offers a rare inside look at resilience, influence, and the possibility of change in even the harshest environments.Chapters00:00 | Welcome & setup00:18 | Why this world feels “foreign”00:42 | John's origin story begins01:03 | First encounter with law enforcement01:20 | Taking the drug charge at 1701:35 | Four armed robberies & max prison02:21 | Siblings, loss, and isolation03:14 | Environment vs. guardrails05:40 | Probation, parole & stacked obstacles06:20 | Private prisons & perverse incentives08:10 | Cartels as local “employers”09:11 | Crime's inevitable endgame10:14 | Why he took the fall11:12 | Acceptance as a survival need12:07 | Jail ecosystem: drugs, fights, status13:04 | Race lines and prison structure14:00 | Negotiation skills behind bars16:10 | Cutting off family to “go all in”17:10 | First robbery & the dangerous win18:00 | Dopamine, risk, and escalation19:23 | “I knew I'd thrive in prison”20:13 | The cafeteria incident & mentor21:07 | Sentencing math: stacking charges22:02 | Centinela: max prison near the border23:20 | Why jail can be more volatile24:05 | Joining the largest prison gang26:16 | Gangs as parent companies & franchises26:40 | Smuggling supply chains (incl. dirty cops)28:05 | Earning status: debts & discipline29:06 | Prison entrepreneurship (gambling, alcohol, phones)31:01 | Corporate politics—just higher stakes31:26 | Power, money, and “don't do politics”33:08 | The written rulebook & paperwork checks33:47 | Who's excluded—and why35:11 | Internal punishments & order36:20 | 18 years inside: the ladder37:01 | Pelican Bay & four years in the SHU39:20 | Solitary reality vs. myths41:27 | Transfers, levels, and riots42:36 | Use of force: towers & rifles43:06 | The peace treaty & hunger strikes44:09 | “Yard time” myth in solitary44:40 | Breaking point: wanting to go home45:01 | New charges from inside48:23 | Stepping down from leadership49:14 | A lifer's blessing to leave50:09 | Entrepreneurship program that changed everything51:25 | His future wife: VC to prison reform52:21 | Scaling Defy & big-name allies52:42 | A force of nature walks into Pelican Bay54:10 | She saw potential—before he did Hosted on Acast.

A Black transgender woman sued the Missouri Department of Corrections, claiming officers kept her isolated for six years based on a policy that singles out people with HIV. Missouri is now changing its policy as a result of that settlement.

On August 20, Missouri changed its policies around placing inmates with HIV in solitary confinement. The change stems from a lawsuit filed by Honesty Bishop: In 2015, after she was the target of an attempted sexual assault by her cellmate in a Missouri prison, prison officials deemed Bishop “sexually active” and kept her in isolation for more than 2,000 days. Bishop took her own life before the suit could conclude. Her family took it over after her death. STLPR reporter Kavahn Mansouri and Marshall Project reporter Katie Moore share their insights from reporting on the case, including their interviews with Bishop's family and analysis of Missouri's prison policies.

Could Kohberger Ever Be Safe in General Population? Solitary confinement can be a temporary measure — or a permanent sentence within a sentence. For Bryan Kohberger, accused of killing four University of Idaho students, the decision to keep him in protective isolation or move him into general population could mean the difference between survival and a quick, violent end. In this Hidden Killers segment, Tony Brueski talks with defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis about how long solitary can last, who makes that decision, and the prison politics driving it. Eric explains why crimes like Kohberger's — especially those involving young female victims — carry a permanent target inside prison, and how some inmates see taking out a high-profile prisoner as a path to infamy, respect, or revenge. We examine survival strategies in this environment, from gang alliances to exploiting mental health vulnerabilities, and why certain “outs” — like transfers or mental health unit placement — can actually increase the danger. The conversation also touches on the limits of legal intervention once a case is closed, and the bigger question: what does it say about our system that inmate safety decisions are made almost entirely behind closed doors? #BryanKohberger #Idaho4 #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #SolitaryConfinement #PrisonPolitics #EricFaddis #PrisonSurvival #HighProfileInmates #PrisonLife Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
