Death By Incarceration

In this week's powerful episode, Suave & Kevin speak with Dr. Jill McCorkel of Villanova University. Topics range from the impact of mass incarceration on women and girls, the importance of college education inside prison, wrongful convictions and the dirty cops who coerce confessions.

Dr. McCorkel is Professor of Sociology and Criminology at Villanova University. She holds faculty affiliations in Africana Studies, Gender and Women’s Studies, and Irish Studies. Dr. McCorkel is the Founder and Executive Director of the Philadelphia Justice Project for Women and Girls, a non-profit research and advocacy organization dedicated to ending mass incarceration and gender violence. Her critically acclaimed first book, Breaking Women: Gender, Race, and the New Politics of Imprisonment (New York University Press, 2013), explores the impact of the War on Drugs and punitive crime policies on incarcerated women. She is currently at work on a second book that examines the #metoo movement in the context of mass incarceration.

In Justice is a limited podcast series hosted and produced by Lisa Spees and Spencer Daniels in association with Death By Incarceration. Now available on your favorite pod-catcher.

In episode four, The The Prosecutor & The Trial, Spencer & Lisa discuss the prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Roger King. King was known to do whatever it took to get a confession. Sometimes, what it took was suppressing evidence and fabricating wild stories. King was proud of 16 death penalty convictions on top of countless other courtroom victories. To date, seven of King's convictions have been overturned with many more under increased scrutiny. King secured guilty verdicts for Emmanuel Rios and Angel Rodriguez despite having zero physical evidence tying them to the crime. He also had knowledge of a taped confession that could have exonerated them both.

Listen for yourself and determine whether the pieces fit together to make a compelling case against Rios and Rodriguez or if you think they were wrongfully convicted.

If you haven’t yet listened to episodes one, two, or three be sure and get caught up.

And if you haven’t checked out our bonus episode - Charles Peruto you can still go back and hear the complete story of the missing tape & its journey.

Subscribe now to the In Justice podcast and hear the lost confession tape that could have kept two innocent men out of prison for the past 33 years.
