Jabril Gushiniere founder of the Cook County Corrections Coalition (C4) and author of Beneath the Badge, joins Black Light to unpack “cross-watching,” the illegal practice of forcing one officer to monitor multiple housing units. We connect the dots between unsafe staffing, preventable harm, unrest, and cascading lockdowns that cancel visits and devastate families. Jabril shares why he refused to comply, the retaliation that followed, and a reform agenda that protects everyone, officers and people in custody alike.
