Friendly warning: this one contains a bit of chatter about sexual and physical abuse and may bring up uncomfortable themes for some. Listener discretion is advised. Jack gives us an explanation of how innocent children went into the Borstal system of youth detention and came out as brutal criminals. It's what he likes to call 'the monster factory'. We also look to the present state of youth detention and some of the things that haven't changed as much as we like to think, especially regarding youth in solitary confinement and regular abuse and torment. It's a bit of a serious one. The news has a look at Hunter Biden's laptop and the 'contents', donut days in Victoria and yet another outbreak of covid-19 in The White House. Oh dear. The Week in Pete Evans looks at his plans for a wellness retreat that features red pills over dinner and Pete winning yet another award for being Pete.

Episode 5 - The Monster Factory

Welcome to The Conditional Release Program, a podcast that delves into the netherworld of cults, crims and con artists.Who would have thought a spicy chest cough would turn everyone so completely mad?Our weekly show covers the conspiracy theorists that created a &#39;shadow pandemic&#39; of political idiocy and violent ideation within the fringe of politics. From time to time we get our hands even dirtier with true crime deep dives. Jack is a seasoned expert in the true crime genre, having written and spoken extensively about Roger Rogerson, Stan &#39;the man&#39; Smith and, of course, the Fine Cotton Fiasco. In various episodes he guides us through the dark underbelly of Australian crime in his trademark storytelling style. The world is getting weird and we are getting weird with it. Let&#39;s watch as democracy crumbles into a smouldering heap - and take note of the kids carrying the matches and the metho. Hosted by Jack the Insider and Joel Hill with an occasional rotation of guests that generally share our distaste toward the lunatic fringe.
