In this powerful episode of Stories Behind the Walls, we expose the harsh realities of life inside Delaware’s prisons — from black mold-infested showers and leaking ceilings to flooding, rodent infestations, and extreme heat with little to no relief. Multiple inmates are now refusing to stay silent, bravely speaking out against these inhumane conditions, despite facing retaliation for their courage.

We also dive into a shocking case where an inmate and his mother were accused of violating Policy 3.17 by making three-way calls — a rule that doesn’t even exist in the DOC’s publicly available policy. Officials attempted to enforce a federal Bureau of Prisons statement program, which is not legally binding for Delaware state inmates.

This episode uncovers the truth about broken policies, a system that punishes those who speak out, and the fight for accountability in a prison system that too often hides behind vague statements and bureaucratic silence.
