  1. Effects of Institutionalization w/ Prof. Jamila Lyn, DJ Lyve, Dr. Bernard Ashby, and Peter Schoenthal

    Trauma, hate, distrust, fear, frustration, tears, disgust, abuse, resentment. These are some of the effects of doing time.

Where there is injustice for one, there is injustice...

  3. Talking Jail and Prison Health Care w/ Dr. Inaki Bent, Dr. Bernard Ashby, Attorney Dan Marshall, and Host Joe Stone

    Four walls, steel bars, and a saline drip. Concrete bed, bologna sandwich, convulsions, embolism, heart rate speeding like a freight train through your chest plate. The fear is gripping and real.

  4. The Problem of Private Prisons w/ Kristy Figueroa Contreras, Paul Wright, Jerry Ianelli, and Joe Stone

    Private prisons are the scourge of civilization. The food is awful, the water tastes like it came from a gutter in Flint, Michigan, and sending an email costs more than a Rolls Royce lease payment. The U.S. the number one spot for the most people in cages. Where there is injustice for one, there…

  5. Lie Detectors w/ Joseph W. Harper, Nayib Hassan, and Joe Stone

    There’s a reason that South Florida is the fraud capital of America, and it’s all built on a house of cards that the contractor skipped out on after an all cash transfer from your bank account to their sense of moral bankruptcy.

  6. Diversity Controversy w/ Renee Gordon, Loreal Arscott, Kadisha Phelps, and Joe Stone

    Productivity is usually a good thing. But not when it comes to mass incarceration.

Today we...

  7. Coerced Confessions w/ Matt Ladd, Maggie Arias, Jeff Weiner, and Joe Stone

  9. Investigating Criminals w/ Ramesh Nyberg, Stephan Lopez, and Roger F. Martinez

    There’s blood in the mud, cocaine in the evidence room, and millions of pages of arrest reports. To say that there’s been a lot of crime committed in Miami is the understatement of the century. When it comes to solving crimes, and closing cases out three guests today are experts in the field.…

  11. Money and Power w/ Carlito Londono, Kweku Darfoor, Dr. Bernard Ashby, and Joe Stone

    Money, power, respect. If you’ve got the first one, you can buy the rest. If you’ve got power, you can get the money, take money, or make the money.

    If you end up on the wrong side of the law, you’re probably going to get offered one of theses deals: It's called a plea bargain.

  16. Family Court w/ Puncho Villashio, Prof. Zanita Fenton, Dr. Bernard Ashby, and Joe Stone

    The number one call that most cops are afraid to answer is a domestic dispute. Why? Because that's when people are at their most vulnerable, emotional, and unpredictable.
