Metro Councilman Darryl Hurst joins the show to discuss urgent issues facing East Baton Rouge Parish, from tire regulation enforcement to the crumbling state of the parish jail. Hurst emphasizes that the jail’s conditions—rusted bars, rats, and outdated infrastructure—are inhumane and unsafe, especially for individuals not yet convicted. He advocates for a new facility and better rehabilitation programs, citing successful models in other parishes. The conversation also touches on systemic delays in the justice system due to underfunded public defenders. Hurst’s message is clear: Baton Rouge must invest in real reform to protect its future and restore dignity to its institutions.
