Sasha Sweets grew up in California as a natural hustler — selling candy before moving to drugs, working at a strip club, and always chasing the finer things in life while her father was in prison for part of her childhood — before getting into a scamming operation with the father of her child in her early twenties that produced a federal indictment, 3.5 years in federal prison across California, Kentucky, and Arizona, and over $2 million in restitution. _____________________________________________  #crimenews #prisonstory #truecrimestories #scam _____________________________________________  Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Prisons Minister James Timpson, Lord Timpson, speaks to Lord Forysth of Drumlean about fostering, business leadership and prison reform in the latest episode of Lord Speaker's Corner. In this episode‘We all had a responsibility to help these other people.' Lord Timpson reflects on a life shaped by an unconventional childhood, where his mother fostered almost 100 children over the years. He shares that ‘we were the youngest kids at school to know all the swear words' but that his mother's passion for challenging the system inspired his drive to make change happen.‘The bigger percentage of the workforce at Timpson that were ex-offenders correlates to the increased profit performance of the business.'Lord Timpson was the CEO of the Timpson Group for 22 years where he pioneered employing ex-prisoners, a practice now used by companies including Greggs, Tesco and Amazon. Drawing on his experience, he explains why employing ex-offenders can deliver both social impact and commercial success, plus why rehabilitation must sit at the heart of the justice system. He also reveals the challenges of the change from commercial CEO to government, and what he has taken from business into his work with civil servants.‘Too many people leave prison and go back again.'Lord Timpson also reflects on the complex current issues in the prison system, from reoffending to mental health and drug addiction, arguing for an approach rooted in rehabilitation as well as fewer women in prison. He also questions the high turnover of prisons ministers, with 25 postholders since 1990.See more from the series https://www.parliament.uk/business/lords/house-of-lords-podcast/ Hosted on Acast.

Justine is a heavy hitter in the occasionally lightweight genre of true-crime journalism. Nancy reviewed her 2016 book We Are Not Such Things, about the murder of an American activist in South Africa, and called it a “masterwork of reported nonfiction.” Unreasonable Women tells the stories of three women in prison for what Justine calls “criminalized survival,” meaning they were fighting back against their abusers. Her research was extensive. She wrote to 10,000 women in prison, created data sets that did not exist, and spent years crafting a book that is both hard to read (in its ugly humanity) and hard to put down (in its narrative propulsion). Also discussed:* Sarah, not going viral * Justine's amazing bone structure* Journalism is license to be nosy* 94% of women are abused before they enter the U.S. prison system* The trap: “If it was so bad, she would have left. If she didn't leave, it surely wasn't so bad.”* Nancy unwinds with a “box of chicken and The Price is Right.”* Bitches Who Stab = the jokey title Justine's husband gave her book* The criminal justice system is so confusing/frustrating that “why bother?” becomes a reasonable reaction — and that's the point.* Kneejerk Nancy has some choice words for the mothers in these stories!* Big love for Bob Kolker, Rachel Aviv, Brian Goldstone, Ann Rule* The horror of Gisele Pelicot (though this convo got cut off, sadly)Plus, what keeps an author going over the long haul of a book project, the troubling history of sexual exploitation in families, a bonanza of hot box books, and much more!

In Episode 333 of Everyday Injustice, host David Greenwald speaks with journalist and author Justine van der Leun about her new book, Unreasonable Women: Three Stories of Violence, Imprisonment and Extraordinary Survival. The conversation explores a troubling reality within the criminal legal system: how survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse are often criminalized rather than protected. Drawing on years of investigative reporting and extensive research, van der Leun examines the stories of women whose attempts to survive violence ultimately led to their incarceration. Van der Leun explains how her investigation began with the case of Nikki Addimando, a New York woman convicted after killing her abusive partner while claiming self-defense. The case prompted a larger question: How often are survivors punished for acts committed in the context of abuse? To find answers, van der Leun conducted a groundbreaking survey of approximately 10,000 incarcerated women, receiving more than 1,000 responses. Her findings suggest that a significant portion of women in prison are there because they acted to protect themselves or loved ones from violence, while many more carry extensive histories of abuse that went unaddressed by social institutions before they entered the criminal legal system. The episode highlights the stories of three women featured in the book: Tanisha Williams of Michigan, who became entangled in a murder case after being coerced by an abusive partner; Gemma Heffernan of Missouri, who fought back against a husband who subjected her to years of violence; and TC Brooks of California, who killed her abusive stepfather after enduring years of sexual abuse and witnessing ongoing violence against her mother. Through these stories, van der Leun argues that the legal system often struggles to recognize the realities of coercion, trauma, and survival, instead relying on rigid categories that separate victims from offenders. Throughout the discussion, Greenwald and van der Leun examine broader questions about accountability, systemic failure, and reform. Van der Leun contends that many of the women filling America's prisons were failed long before they entered the criminal legal system and that their cases reveal deep structural shortcomings in how society responds to abuse. The conversation offers a powerful look at the intersection of gender, violence, trauma, and incarceration, challenging listeners to reconsider who the justice system punishes—and why.

Being locked up in prison is hard - but often the real test comes when you're released. In part 2 of this discussion, Tahlia Isaac takes Gary inside the raw reality of life in a women's maximum-security facility: 22-hour lockdowns, mothers crying for children they can't reach, Aboriginal matriarchs ripped from their communities, and women imprisoned for nothing more than driving without a licence. Then comes the moment when the doors swing open…to no money, support, or protection. Tahlia argues that the system doesn't need fixing, it needs to be completely torn down and rebuilt, which is exactly what she’s trying to do now through her charity Project:herSELF.

These are the final words in Solomon's Book of Ecclesiastes. In the verse 12 he writes, “Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of mankind” At the start of this book we read, these are “the words of the Preacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem.”     In today's final chapter we read, “Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging, many proverbs with great care.” [v.9]  We quoted a few days ago v.11 “the words of the wise are like goads, like nails firmly fixed” [v.11] and it reminds us of what Jesus said to Paul on the Damascus road, “It is hard for you to kick against the goads” [Acts 26 v.14] Goads are the nails that are fixed behind horses in harness pulling a carriage, which prick them if they try to disobey the driver.  Paul's conscience was pricking him as he put loving and God fearing men and women in prison and stood approving the stoning of Stephen.  Do we let the “words of the wise” that God has caused to be preserved throughout the Bible prick our conscience? We should.Solomon has a particular message for the young. “Rejoice, O young … let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth.  Walk in the ways of your heart … But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgement … Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come … “ [Ch.11 v.9; 12 v.1]He is writing in the despondency of old age, death is at the door, he had found “enjoyment in all his toil” [2 v.24] and now that is all over.  But today we can put a fuller meaning on “before the evil days come” for our world is facing evil times and the good times (?) are largely over; “They are afraid= also of what is high, and terrors are in the way” [v.5].We must take his final words to heart, “Fear  God and keep his commandments …

In this discussion, Naz reflects on her memories of early childhood and her mother's efforts to provide for the family, including feeding them every evening and providing treats like biscuits and tea – despite suffering ongoing physical and emotional abuse. In this discussion Edwina and Naz address the on-going systemic failures in supporting children of imprisoned mothers and debate how the justice system must be re-designed to support women to maintain relationships with their children through community alternatives to custody when it's safe to do so. Naz talks about the impact of her mother's imprisonment on her own life and the importance of understanding the systemic issues faced by women in prison – many of whom are themselves victims of abuse. This episode asks what more can be done to support women, mothers and families who are impacted by the justice system.

Loyal listener and true gent, Bryan joins us this week armed with a couple of underseen gems. We start off with gritty British crime thriller The Squeeze (1977), directed by Michael Apted and follow that up with some choice Philippine exploitation: Cirio H. Santiago's pirate / blaxploitation / women-in-prison mash-up The Muthers (1969). Stacy Keach as a drunk private eye having a really bad week in grim 1970's London, followed by a quartet of plucky African-American beauties pitted against some egregious Filipino thugs in the jungle and on the sea. It's a heady combination! We don't include a Spoiler Territory for The Squeeze because, well, we kinda forgot (there aren't any huge twists anyway, but if you want to skip ahead at any point, go to 1:36:49 to get to the next movie), but we do manage to remember to call out Spoiler Territory for The Muthers.

Content warning: This episode of Doin' Time contains audio descriptions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died, discussion of deaths in custody, strip searches, and women in prison. Today's broadcast is dedicated to all women in prison, and also women who have been formerly incarcerated. Marisa speaks with 3 members of Formerly Incarcerated Girls Justice Advocates Melbourne, known as FIGJAM, Kelly, Nina and Georgia. FIGJAM is a collective of formerly incarcerated women based in Melbourne who have survived violence in the community but also at the hands of the state -- namely prisons and police. FIGJAM was founded by Nina, the Family Violence Justice Project Coordinator from Flat Out in the hope and dream of building a community of staunch advocates providing connection, support and stability to its members. FIGJAM members use their voices and experiences to change community attitudes and push through barriers of stigma and discrimination. We discussed strip searching in prisons. Strip searching is an unnecessary, degrading and deeply harmful practice that should be banned in law by all governments, according to a new report released by the Human Rights Law Centre, Flat Out and FIGJAM. The report was discussed in detail highlighting violations of human rights in prison. FIGJAM's campaign was also discussed.

Most Christians in the marketplace carry pain they have never talked about out loud. That silence shapes how they show up at work, in relationships, and in their faith. This episode asks what becomes possible when you stop managing your story and start letting it serve others. Lynne Farrell joins Addison Williams to share how her faith journey moved from a small homeschool classroom to a video Bible study now reaching thousands of women in prisons, anti-trafficking restoration programs, and pro-life centers. Lynne Farrell is the author and keynote speaker of the women's video Bible study, "SEEN: Discovering the Freedom to be Authentically You," which is featured on RightNow Media. Her study is also reaching thousands of women in prison, in anti-trafficking restoration groups, and pro-life centers. Lynne also speaks at women's retreats and events and has authored the children's book, "Bennie's Forever Gift." She's been married to her husband, Paul, for 35 years, and has two adult children. Key Discussion Points Lynne wrote her Bible study ""Seen"" during COVID and discovered her hardest personal stories were the parts that most impacted other women. Her study is now available on tablets for incarcerated women through a prison ministry partnership, with no prior prison ministry experience on her part. She shares openly about healing from abortion at 17 and how telling that story from a place of healing removes shame's power in the room. The Follower of One Marketplace Mission Trip helped her slow down and create actual margin in her daily schedule to be available to the people around her. She explains why forgiving others and refusing to keep pain hidden are the practical starting points for people who want freedom but do not know where to begin.

This week's episode follows Rio, a woman whose story moves from chaos to clarity with raw honesty and hard-won hope.Rio began using meth in high school, a path that quickly pulled her out of her parents' home and into the control of an older woman who groomed her and introduced her to a traumatic, dangerous lifestyle. After graduating from an alternative school, Rio became a young mom, but addiction tightened its grip. She walked away from her baby and his father in pursuit of drugs, parties, and a life that only grew more volatile. What followed were years of chaos, including involvement with a motorcycle club and people who kept pushing her further into risk and destruction.Eventually Rio entered treatment, relapsed once more, and then made the decision that changed everything, choosing sobriety for real. Today, she's married, has regained custody of her son, is working on her degree at UCSD, and is driven by a powerful goal: to one day work with women in prison and help them find the same freedom she did.This is a story about grooming, addiction, motherhood, relapse, resilience, and what's possible when recovery finally sticks.

How do we talk about the marketing of movies so much? Probably because it often feels uninspired. Character posters all look alike, trailers give away everything, and press junkets seem to be more about looking for viral moments. There have been some noticeable exceptions, but we think we have found the one that is the best of them all. Plus, the latest comedic talent to try their hand at horror.We love exploitation flicks, and with so many streaming channels, they are fairly easy to find. Tubi has done a magnificent job, providing us with some absolute gems. Bruno Mattei is an exploitation master who has one everything from Nazisploitation, to women in prison movies, to one of the greatest Jaws rip offs of all time.He also gave us Rats: Night of Terror.This is another one of those Italian exploitation movies that takes place in a dystopian future with lots of motorcycles, crazy outfits, an lots of gore. The effects are disgusting, the shallow characters draw you in, an the rats are frightening. It is fun stuff, if a little standard. Then you witness one of the greatest endings you will ever see.The Salem Chronicles also keeps things familiar. Its says it is a modern twist on the Salem witch trials, but there is nothing new to see here. (There is also nothing on the poster that has anything to do with the film.) It would be a fine, it derivative, watch if the crew cared about it. This is a poorly done mess that will make you laugh without ever being fun.

Episode #413: “No one's liberated without everyone being liberated, right?” Those words belong to Nitchakarn “Memee” Rakwongrit, a Thai youth activist whose journey from a rural upbringing to the center of Bangkok's protests has made her one of the country's most visible young voices for democracy and feminist struggle. Born in Mahasarakham province in Thailand's Isaan region, a place long tied to grassroots democracy but often dismissed by elites, Memee grew up in a politicized household, as her father, a staunch Red Shirt supporter, constantly encouraged her to question authority. At sixteen she moved to Bangkok, and when dissident Wanchalerm Satsaksit was abducted in Cambodia in 2020, she joined her first street protest. She recalls it as the moment the curtain lifted on authoritarianism. Around the same time, having faced harassment and “slut-shaming,” Memee's feminist awareness deepened. With the Feminist Liberation Front Thailand, she adapted the Chilean anthem “A Rapist in Your Path” into Thai, sparking both solidarity and backlash. “For me, feminism is not just…a theory with big words or vocabulary, but how we are really living our life,” she says. Memee's activism quickly put her in the crosshairs. At just sixteen she was arrested for a speech about women in prison; over the next two years she faced seven more cases. Authorities subjected her to symbolic punishments, which she wryly called “certificates of activism.” In 2021, she shaved her head at a rally, declaring, “I will shave my head until this Prime Minister quits!” It became a shocking but powerful symbol of resistance. Despite repression, Memee expanded her reach, and became involved with the Milk Tea Alliance. “It gave me the privilege to be able to listen to broader perspectives and border experiences,” she says. She has worked tirelessly to support Myanmar's pro-democracy struggle, building bridges through “Thai Students for Burma.” For Memee, activism must also include joy. “Fun has two benefits,” she explains. “It is good for mental health in the community, and it attracts more people to join.” Humor, memes, and play, she insists, are weapons against fear.

Adam's Paternity Leave is nearly over, but while we still have a couple weeks left, let's look at the last of a pair of episodes featuring a very tall Emmy winner of yore. A few resourceful new Munchies figured out a work-around where you can join as a free member and upgrade from there to a paid account which charges you for one month and unlocks the back catalog behind the respective tier of the paywall. If you want more content and can't wait until we've fully unlocked everything next month, you can jump in ahead of our return in October.The Munchie Boys pick up where they left off last week, trudging through the murk as Ray's tall brother faces the fallout from having been charged as a serial rapist while the Correction Officers' Benevolent Association possibly threatens Barba's life for having the temerity to come after one of their guys. This fallout includes the first—and thus far, only—time an officer on the Unit dies in the line of duty, which gives Adam and Josh quite a bit to mull over while wondering why the stakes were lowered so much before offing him. Any episode that has Chekhov's gun go off while also not having Chekhov's gun go off means there's going to be plenty of plot discussion to be had. There are also plenty of discussions about the typically insane things that SVU forces one to reckon with, namely intimidation wizards, phantom door-locking chicanery, the hilarity of needing apple boxes in hostage shoots, and much, much more.Music:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Diana R, Tony B, Barry W, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Amy A, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Asteria K, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Rebecca B, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Tiffany C, Brian B, Kate K, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Roni C, Erin M, Florina C, Melissa H, and Olivia - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

We start with a look at this weekend's box office. We start with the power of anime, before moving on to the Warrens. But the main topic is Stephen King. The renowned author is no stranger to box office flops. So why is everyone blaming the performance of The Long Walk recent comments he made. It is not like he has every been quiet about his political views? Also, who is responsible for more Insidious sequels?We have some some crazy things on our humble little podcast. There have been plenty of films that have given zero fucks about who they offend and what lines they cross. But we have never seen anything like 2006's Werewolf in a Women's Prison. For those thinking the title is a metaphor for a much deeper story, you will be disappointed. This is very much a case of what you see is what you get.And what you see is a lot of naked women. How much? For the first time, it was enough for one of us to say it was too much. Not on any moral grounds; it was just more bare breasts than a person wants to see in one movie. Between all the bare flesh, there are some awesome kills, questionable music choices, a werewolf that is simultaneously cool and awful looking, and Patton Oswalt's wife.It has been a rough year for Blumhouse. It once seemed like they could release anything and people would go see it. This year has been one box office failure after another, including this week's feature presentation, Drop. The premise is a neat one. A woman on a blind date starts receiving mysterious air drops that command her to do horrible things or in son will die. The execution, not so much.It is a message movie that makes its message unimportant, a character study that leaves you not caring about its main character, and a thriller that is not so thrilling. There are some odd directorial choices, with some that are really good. But the ones that do not land make the movie look cheap. And the ending brings closure, but is not satisfying.

Adam's Paternity Leave is near its end, but while we still have a few weeks left of it, let's look at the first of a pair of episodes (we'll pick up the second installment next week) featuring a key Emmy presenter from last night. A few resourceful new Munchies have figured out a work-around where you can join as a free member and upgrade from there to a paid account which charges you for one month and unlocks the back catalog behind the respective tier of the paywall. After that first payment, you won't be charged again until we're dropping new content (which we'll warn everyone is coming), so if you want more of this it can be had, along with access to the fully uncut episodes from 100 to present and Movie Club episodes.Hot on the heels of an episode that nearly broke our rating scale, the Munchie Boys watched Part 1 of a two-parter featuring Ray Romano's kooky brother Robert from the hit turn-of-the-century sitcom for olds, Everybody Loves Raymond. Fans of that show will remember that the actor in question, Brad Garrett, is really, REALLY tall. This causes the kind of continuity problems that only SVU can create. We're obviously talking about complex genital geometry problems. We would, of course, be remiss if our discussion stayed on topic, so expect to hear about Chinese New Year, more car talk from Josh, Rikers Island, and Predator.Sources:A Look Inside Rikers - NY TimesMusic:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Diana R, Tony B, Barry W, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Amy A, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Asteria K, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Rebecca B, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Tiffany C, Brian B, Kate K, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Roni C, Erin M, Florina C, Melissa H, and Olivia - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!
