4.15: Juno Steel and the Infernal Grind (Part 1)

Aurinko Permanent Corrections is not like other prisons. At Aurinko Permanent Corrections, they believe in rehabilitation. They believe that all of us have the ability to be better, do better, and it is with this certainty that the warden might look you in the eyes and ask: "So why aren't you doing better? And what do I have to do to you to make you start?" Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay. (Trigger warnings can be found at the bottom of this episode description and at the end of the transcript.) --------------You can find all of our transcripts here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OLddnnYamZuglgZc8pM2gqToPOwEBccM?usp=sharingTranscripts will come out along with the public release of the episode.On staff at the Penumbra:Alice Chuang -- Head of DesignGinny D'Angelo -- Head of Merchandise and OutreachMelissa DeJesus -- Script editing teamEllison Estephan -- Promotional artistHarley Takagi Kaner -- Co-creator, Head of Episode Development, Director, Sound designerJoelle Kross -- TranscriptionistNoah Simes -- Production managerGrahame Turner -- Script editing teamKevin Vibert -- Co-creator, Head of Operations, Lead writerRyan Vibert -- Composer and performer of original musicRecorded by Mertz at The Bridge Sound & Stage--------Attribution: Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode "Kind of Girl" by Jeris, featuring spinningmerkabaFrom Gurd To Nark by Siobhan Dakay (c) copyright 2021 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/SiobhanD/64324 Ft: GurdonarkSeven(New Music Remix) by bwatts (c) copyright 2012 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/bwatts/39793 Ft: alex beroza“Metal Door Knocking” by Blood Pixel Hero https://freesound.org/people/BloodPixelHero/sounds/621230/“Quartz Crystal Singing Bowl” by juskiddink https://freesound.org/people/juskiddink/sounds/129219/“Horror ambience 15.wav” by klankbeeld https://freesound.org/people/klankbeeld/sounds/137070/“Space Buzz Tone.wav” by thatjeffcarter https://freesound.org/people/thatjeffcarter/sounds/165437/“Taped Bagpipe Music.wav” by Puniho https://freesound.org/people/Puniho/sounds/172687/---------Trigger warnings:- Incarceration and prison- Enclosed spaces and sudden loud noises- Torture- Mob violence- Emotional abuse- Threats of violence and death- Manipulation and "brainwashing"- Abuse by mental health professionals- Self-inflicted harm- Starvation and sleep deprivationFor early and ad-free episodes, production scripts, commentary tracks, blooper reels, livestreams with the creators, and much more, you can find The Penumbra Podcast: SPECIAL EDITION at: https://thepenumbrapodcast.supercast.com(In old episodes, you will often hear us mention Patreon, which was our old platform and is no longer live.
