In Texas' Gainesville State School, a juvenile detention facility and not-traditional school has a great idea: high school athletics. Half school, half prison, a small group of people dedicated to reforming kids-- a superintendent, principal, coaches, correctional officers-- set up organized football in order to develop their focus and discipline, goals and ability. These kids are success cases in the making, recognizing that it was their own poor choices that got them here but recognizing that although they fumbled their last drive, they have the ball again. This time, no excuses.

In Polk County Florida, an off-duty Correctional Officer saw a suspicious male near children waiting for the bus. The stranger grabbed an 11-year-old girl, kidnapping her. Cops run towards danger when others merely dial 911: he ran after him, rescued the girl, and performed an arrest until police arrived. Now he's using his recognition to tell the County Commission and the community about the unknown heroes among them. In other news, Correctional Officers killed on 9/11 may better rest in peace after a foundation has taken care of the families left behind. And a sneak peak at an upcoming Netflix Doc you cannot miss.

Jon returns for a solo episode-- that's right, it's full divorce and it's split custody and this is your weekend with dad. In this episode Jon talks about the 23 indicted in OPERATION NIGHT DROP, a federal investigation into drones flying in and out of Telfair and Smith State Prisons. Also in the news, Monkey Pox breaks out in Iowa, and Diet Satan Wade Wilson receives two death penalties for being a son of a bitch down in America's Wang.

Jake and Jon take down an informative article about Pakistan that India-toucher in the Indus Valley region of the far east-middle east, or western far east, or whatever, and talk about how the Islamic Republic puts down their bad dogs. But in a country that executes blasphemers of the Islamic religion and homosexuals-- who are the bad guys in Pakistan, anyway? Jon and Jake relax and enjoy one more for the road.

It calls itself "America's Finest City." Hidden away in San Diego is the brig at Naval Base Miramar and it has a dark secret: they ship in all the sex offenders from all over the military to serve time there, then they cut them loose into the community. Through a quirk of the law Jon can only describe as "typically federal," these sex offenders aren't having to notify anyone that they've infiltrated the community.

An impromptu live with Jake with news, updates and of course Jake Jokes.

Richard Matt and David Sweat were discovered missing during a morning bed check at the maximum security Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York. The two had tunneled out, and exited through a steam pipe, and disappeared like farts in the wind. Instead of taking twenty years, it took merely ten-- and significant assistance from two staffers compromised by sex, money and complacency. A listener request.

Tony The Tiger said it best. Now as it turns out every frosted flake carries with it all the sins perpetrated by this country since it was founded. The Associated Press did a two year exposé on the reality of prison labor and how it figures largely into the American economy. You're made to feel guilty and a party to amoral oppression with only half the facts being presented. Feel how you want to feel, but here is the rest of the story.

Remember that French guy that couldn't stop breaking out of France's prisons? You loved it. Another experienced French guy gets away in a helicopter. But this time, he's gut art supplies, full creative liberties and some fruit. This one turns out a little differently though. France needs to start just wildly firing their guns at all helicopters.

So many dead. So many taken hostage. Seven prisons in the equatorial country have turned into fortified bases for organized crime, which is battling the legitimate government for control of the country. The shit started at Guayaquil when one of the most powerful narcotics bosses, Jose Adolfo Macias, aka "Fito", escaped. Riots in response erupted at five more prisons, sending security forces into terror. The feeble government called in the military to retake the prisons, but Ecuador still has a problem. What is the source of the mafia's money and power? It may surprise you to find out that it is you.
