In this episode, I examine the lack of support inmates receive under the care of Department of Corrections personnel. Despite their claims, the DOC does not appear to prioritize the safety and security of inmates. Placing biological males and females in the same cell, poisoning inmates, and placing a convicted rapist in the same cell as a family member of one of his victims is reckless. DOC management needs to monitor the actions of facility officials more closely.

In this episode, I explore the misconceptions surrounding the Department of Corrections (DOC). The public's expectations of the DOC often differ from its actual performance. All DOC facilities should prioritize the well-being of incarcerated individuals, victims, families, communities, and government officials. Debunking these myths is essential to deflect and reduce crime, thereby creating a safer community.

In this episode, I discuss how to prepare for prison. The Department of Corrections cannot be expected fulfill all their responsibilities, so incarcerated individuals need to establish a support base to help them navigate the difficult journey of incarceration. This team must monitor the actions of the DOC and hold them accountable.

In this episode, I explore the privileges granted to the Washington Department of Corrections that are not extended to other agencies. The WADOC often abuses its authority, causing harm to incarcerated individuals and their families. Recently, the state of Washington elected its former attorney general as governor, which may lead to improvements within the department.

In this episode, I examine the state of mental health within the facilities under the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections. The lack of adequate medical attention can lead to a decline in emotional and mental well-being. DOC officials and contractors lack the proper training and skills to provide the necessary support for incarcerated individuals in their quest to effectively return to society as productive members.

In this episode, I explore the numerous instances where the Department of Corrections disregards policy and law, mistreating those entrusted to its care. A correctional center should strive to improve the lives of incarcerated individuals and reduce recidivism. If the penal system cannot adhere to policy and procedure, and provide the necessary resources for improvement, then the justice system should not trust it with the care of convicted individuals.

Law enforcement, the penal system, and the justice system should train personnel on the value of romantic relationships among incarcerated individuals. People in meaningful relationships can influence each other in ways that government agencies cannot. In the case of Bonnie and Clyde, Clyde Barrow's experiences with law enforcement and incarceration contributed to his crime spree as well as his negative impact on Bonnie Parker.

In this episode, I take a deep dive into Correctional Industries, a program designed to provide job training and work opportunities for incarcerated individuals. I’ll explore its goals, such as teaching valuable skills and preparing people for life after prison, as well as the controversies surrounding it. Is it a path to rehabilitation or a system of exploitation? Join me as I uncover the complexities of prison labor, its impact on society, and what it means for the future of corrections.

In this episode I discuss the Washington Department of Correction's lack of responsibility and their efforts to hide the truth for self-preservation. The DOC needs to rely more on preventing recidivism and increasing staff, resources, and funding. The WA DOC, particularly the Washington Corrections Center for Women, should avoid engaging in politics above community safety and well-being.

In this episode, I recount a recent incident where my email communication was suddenly cut off after Superintendent Headly terminated my Securus account without any given reason, disrupting my wedding preparations. The Washington Department of Corrections seems to disregard the psychological impact of email communications and external contact on incarcerated individuals. The DOC appears to overlook the concerns of loved ones and established protocols, simply to enforce its authority. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLePDqT1h-R5Pe1omQHE4LTmqyCZMxXHKY
