In this episode, we continue our special series on Solitary Confinement by turning our focus to Oregon's only women's prison—Coffee Creek—and the often-overlooked realities of solitary confinement behind its walls. Kyle Black shares firsthand accounts of the degrading strip searches, traumatizing isolation, and the human toll of a system designed to punish, not protect. We explore how solitary is used as a catch-all for everything the prison can't—or won't—address, and ask: who is truly being kept safe?CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of suicide, self-harm, and sexual abuse. Listener discretion is advised. If these topics are distressing for you, please take care while listening, and consider skipping this episode if needed.

I also wanted to remind everyone again why I started this second weekly China Compass podcast. I want to encourage people to pray for Pastor Wang Yi (and others like him, as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us) by sharing from his own words and sermons. (We’ve also looked at sermons from Richard Wurmbrand.) Sometime soon, we’ll return to Richard Wurmbrand’s collection of Sermons in Solitary Confinement, but today I want to read an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week from Michael Wurmbrand, the now 80+ year old son of Richard Wurmbrand and founder of the Richard Wurmbrand Foundation. What's Wrong With VOM? BTW, Michael does NOT recommend the ministry of Voice of the Martyrs, which he helped to found many decades ago. He was fired from the ministry more than ten years ago, when he demanded a more broad inquiry into the travels and contacts of former VOM director, Tom White, who committed suicide in VOM’s Bartlesville, OK, warehouse in 2012, after allegations surfaced of him molesting a ten year old girl. (Read his “Open Letter” about VOM here: https://www.billionbibles.com/michael-wurmbrand-vom.html) Michael Wurmbrand also runs another parallel ministry, Help For Refugees, focused primarily on his native Romania, and has made all of his father’s books (and formerly unpublished writings) available for free since VOM continues to use his parents’ likeness and writings without his permission. In contrast, check out one of my favorite ministries, Asia Harvest: https://www.asiaharvest.org/ How To See Angels All that to say that in each month’s ministry newsletter, he includes a formerly unpublished homily or devotional by his late father, Richard Wurmbrand. And that’s what I’m going to share with you now… https://chinacall.substack.com/p/how-to-see-angels A Word from Michael Wurmbrand Also, here is a quote I stumbled across earlier from Michael Wurmbrand, which should challenge us: “As my father emphasized many times, the head of the serpent needs to be crushed and we need not tickle its belly. Christians have to attack the head of evil. Love of money is the root of all evil. The reason the communists wanted and worked to see us dead, was described by one of the Romanian communist ambassadors in a confidential discussion: ‘because of Wurmbrand, Romania lost preferred-nation status with the United States, 8 years in a row.’ (Isn’t that amazing, that one man did that?!) While many missions fight [evil with] programs, countless banks and businessmen support evil in the same areas through their financial interest, [doing] business as usual, like [in] China, Vietnam, Moslem countries, etc. How can a Christian in good conscience work and draw a salary in the oil industry in Moslem countries where his fellow Christians are maimed, even killed for their faith? How can Christians while claiming to help persecuted believers in China, encourage trade with the communist Chinese?” Follow China Compass Follow or subscribe to China Compass wherever you are listening.

Jesse Krimes was interested in art at an early age, but got caught up in the criminal justice system in his early 20's. He spent 6 years in prison, including some time in solitary confinement. Since his release, he has pursued his own art career, and worked to help incarcerated people use art as a tool for self-expression and rehabilitation. Now he has his own exhibition at The Met. His solo show is called "Corrections," and runs through July 13. He'll discuss his work and his Brooklyn-based organization, The Center for Art and Advocacy, which provides resources for formerly incarcerated artists.

For 16 days, Lisa Johnson endured what's known as a "dry cell" in a Nova Scotia prison. Solitary confinement, with no working toilet, in conditions some liken to torture. This episode first aired in 2021, and Lisa's legal battle since has led to changes in federal regulations around dry cell use in Canada. We're airing this story again as Lisa prepares for another court date over the dry cell in June, this time with a lawsuit for damages. A note to listeners: this episode features strong language and disturbing details.

But today I’m taking a break from Richard Wurmbrand’s Sermons in Solitary Confinement, to talk about what happened to me exactly 7 years ago, when I was arrested and interrogated in China. Specifically, after recounting my memories for a bit, I want to share some thoughts on how to pray for others who may someday find themselves in a similar situation. For instance, if you know someone is going to be undergoing intense questioning or interrogations related to their testimony or ministry, here are some specific things (from one who has been in that very situation) to pray for: Pray for clarity of mind (and wisdom) Pray for boldness (against fear and worry) Pray for family (who may not know what is going on) Get the book and other special content @ UNBEATEN.VIP!

Singlehood often masquerades as freedom while functioning as a self-imposed panopticon. Society frames solitude as either a sacred act of self-love or a pathological failure to bond, yet these binaries obscure a deeper truth: Choosing singlehood frequently reflects a hypervigilant dance between trauma and transcendence, control and surrender, echoing Krishnamurti's warning that “the observer is the observed.”

Trail Blazing Justice is doing a deep dive into the use of solitary confinement in Oregon prisons by producing a series on this important issue. TBJ welcomes guest Mark Wilson, who spent over three decades incarcerated, and has personal experience with solitary confinement. Mark is now out and a Legal Assistant/Policy Associate with the OJRC. Join us as Mark shares his insights and experiences and pulls back the curtain on practices that corrections officials would rather the public not know about and affirms what we all know, that solitary confinement is torture.The Trail Blazing Justice podcast is a production of the Oregon Justice Resource Center.

To learn more about our various ministry endeavors and to get any of the missionary biographies I’ve published, visit www.PrayGiveGo.us! First, I want to remind everyone why I started this second weekly podcast within China Compass. I wanted to remind people to pray for Pastor Wang Yi (and others like him, as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us) by sharing from his own words and sermons. We kept at it for a dozen weeks or so (Oct and Dec of last year), working through Wang Yi’s pre-arrest letters and declarations. Next we return to Richard Wurmbrand’s Sermons in Solitary Confinement: I then began an extended series working through Richard Wurmbrand’s Sermons in Solitary Confinement, giving us a glimpse of life from within the walls of persecution from the perspective of a well-known pastor. Richard Wurmbrand was a Romanian Lutheran minister who spent fourteen years in prison (three in solitary confinement) and published ”Tortured for Christ" after his release in the late 1960s. He later founded Voice of the Martyrs, but son Michael does NOT recommend VOM’s ministry today. (Read his “Open Letter” about VOM here: https://www.billionbibles.com/michael-wurmbrand-vom.html) Michael Wurmbrand now runs his own ministry, and has made most of his father’s books (and formerly unpublished writings) available for free: https://richardwurmbrandfoundation.com/. The last two weeks I took a break from the Sermons in Solitary Confinement series to share a couple excerpts from Richard Wurmband’s longer book of prison stories & meditations, In God's Underground (https://richardwurmbrandfoundation.com/pdfs/IGU-english.pdf), but today we return to the Solitary Confinement Sermons, looking at a shorter one called “Word Made Flesh”, found on pages 65-67 in the original book (scanned to pdf): Sermons in Solitary Confinement. As I’ve said before, I want to preface this (as Wurmbrand himself did) with the statement that he is sharing these prison sermons “as is”, not editing out certain thoughts that he may have disagreed with later in life, or in more mentally stable moments. Not to say that they are heretical sermons either, but that they are not here presented to be as theologically accurate as possible, but to give us a glimpse into the heart, mind, and solitary cell of a prisoner for Christ.

Richard Wurmbrand: Once again, we are going to turn to the late Richard Wurmbrand to speak to us on behalf of those of the persecuted church who are currently being imprisoned and tortured for Christ. For those who don't know who Richard Wurmband is, here's a brief intro: Lutheran minister in Romania. 14 years in prison, including 3 in solitary confinement. After “escaping”, published ”Tortured for Christ" in the 1960s and testified to Congress. Helped start Voice of the Martyrs (but his son Michael doesn’t trust VOM). Michael Wurmbrand’s VOM letter: https://www.billionbibles.com/michael-wurmbrand-vom.html Michael Wurmbrand’s ministry (free books!): https://richardwurmbrandfoundation.com/ Sermons in Solitary Confinement Most likely published in the early 1970s, just a few years after he fled from Communist Romania… Read the book for yourself: https://richardwurmbrandfoundation.com/pdfs/ssc-english.pdf Today we look at portions from the first sermon in the collection, God’s Unjust Laws: Here's the portion about lying that I discussed a little more in depth... "Thou shalt not bear false witness” is a law for the man who has no reason to lie, or perhaps is not even able to do so, not having the slightest imagination; it is also for me, who has to answer the Communist interrogator. If I tell him the truth, as he asks me, appealing to my Christian obligation, many other arrests will follow. Rahab, after having hid the two Israelite spies, lied, saying that she did not know where they came from or where they had gone. Did she do wrong? I remember that Spurgeon preached on this subject, and said that he had often tried to put himself in Rahab's place. Supposing he had hidden some persecuted Protestants and was asked by the authorities if they were in his house. What would his answer have been? It is known that he was very strict against lying. We had to lie in the Nazi times, too. So I was interested to read what he said: "I have tried to imagine what I would say, and have never yet been able to make up my mind ••• I have more light than Rahab, and certainly I have had more leisure to consider the case, and yet I do not see my way. I am not sure whether Rahab's lie was not more honest and outspoken than many an evasion which has suggested itself to very clever people." I have often quoted his words to brethren who were worried about having to lie to oppressing authorities. Spurgeon could not make up his mind. I have made up mine. I lie to the Communist examining officers, and I must say I do it with delight.

Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Larry Brock Jr., a January 6 defendant, joined Fantom Facts Society's "#1 Night Show on X" to expose his harrowing 372 days as a political prisoner. Convicted for his Capitol riot role, Brock detailed his abuses by 5 guards inside prison—127 days in solitary, near dangerous inmates—blaming the Bureau of Prisons' “domestic terrorist” label for his ordeal. Now free, he's on a mission to unveil court corruption, slamming Judge John Bates for upholding his two-year sentence despite legal shifts favoring leniency. With military grit, Brock vows to support his community, backing January 6 defendants via efforts like the Patriot Mail Project and fundraising on GiveSendGo. His fiery call to reclaim rights resonates with patriots, blending personal redemption with a crusade against systemic injustice.  Brock's story—raw and unfiltered—ignites debate over justice, punishment, and resilience in today's America.larrybrockjr.comhttps://substack.com/@a10torchhttps://x.com/larrybrockjrhttps://rumble.com/c/c-3149259https://truthsocial.com/@LarryBrockJr  1  Be Informedwww.StopHate.comwww.BloodyHill.comwww.J6truth.org​Documentarieswww.epochtimes.com 2 Get InvolvedSend letters to the unjustly imprisonedPetition to Designate Jan 6th as 'Patriot Day'Submit a FOIA Request!

Eric details his experience rescuing a red-eared slider turtle from a small aquarium where it lived in isolation for years. He purchased the turtle and named her Freedom. Initially placing her in a large pond, he realized she lacked the muscle and experience to thrive, so he began rehabilitating her. He used smaller water tubs to help her regain strength and mobility before introducing her to a larger community. Eric then describes constructing an elaborate pond and duck enclosure for Freedom and other turtles, sharing details about the build and the pond's ecosystem. He concludes by discussing filtration and maintenance, and answering audience questions about pond care.   Key Takeaways:   Sometimes, intervening in an animal's life can drastically improve its well-being, even if it seems like a common species. Patience and tailored environments are critical when rehabilitating an animal from poor living conditions. Building a suitable habitat for animals, like a pond, may require repurposing materials and a collaborative effort. Maintaining a healthy aquatic environment for multiple animals involves a commitment to filtration, aeration, and regular cleaning. Observing animals and adapting to their needs can lead to creating enriching environments that enhance their lives.

At the age of 17, Suave was arrested, tried as an adult, and found guilty. The mandatory minimum, at that time in the state of Pennsylvania, was life in prison. Before he was even old enough to vote, register for military service, or smoke, Suave was shipped away for life. While in prison, something began to shift in him. This rebellious, angry, and illiterate kid went on to learn to read, earn multiple college degrees, and even start a scholarship for the children of incarcerated individuals. Then, a miracle:  nearly 15 years after his trial, a landmark court decision meant his case could be heard again—with the chance that Suave could be free. His story of survival, courage, and growth is remarkable, and the definition of aggressive.  Check out the Pulitzer Prize winning podcast that tells his story, "Suave," wherever you listen to podcasts.
