He Died in a Private Prison Then the Footage Disappeared

John Carlos Frey looks at the death of Kesley Vial, a 23-year-old Brazilian asylum seeker who died in 2022 at the Torrance County Detention Facility in New Mexico — a privately-run facility operated by CoreCivic. The episode investigates how CoreCivic destroyed footage from 14 surveillance cameras after Vial's suicide attempt, while preserving only 49 still images favorable to their defense — even after receiving a legal preservation demand the day he died. https://theintercept.com/2026/05/24/ice-corecivic-death-private-prison-judge/ https://theraidpodcast.org/ Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").  The distributor and distributor's affiliates are not responsible for, and shall not be liable for, the statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants, or for any content that appears on the program.    Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
