Santana True Crime

4. Saving Kevin Sanders with Carla Conti


Listen Later

*Chained Birds* is a true crime memoir chronicling Carla Conti's decade-long advocacy for federal inmate Kevin Sanders. Conti, a former journalist, joined a legal team to defend Sanders against unjust assault charges, exposing brutal conditions, gang violence, drug addiction, solitary confinement, and corrupt guards in an experimental prison program at USP Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, which was shut down in 2018. The book blends a thrilling true crime narrative with Conti's personal struggles to ensure her safety, that of her friend and lawyer Scott Powell, and Sanders, while facing threats from prison gangs. It explores themes of unlikely friendships, redemption, and flaws in the U.S. criminal justice system, reading like a fast-paced thriller grounded in real events.
