Lockdown!
from Pravity · host franklet
The worst four days I ever spent in East Baton Rouge Parish Prison were on lockdown.In this episode, I explain what “lockdown” actually means inside a parish prison — the layout, the cells, the hallway they call yard time, and the three kinds of people who end up there: classification cases, disciplinary cases, and the mentally ill.You’ll hear about Delaysia, a trans woman who did me a real favor, and why cutting open a prison mattress could mean the difference between dignity and humiliation. Scarcity changes people. Confinement sharpens it.This isn’t television lockdown. It’s closer, dirtier, and far more absurd.
