On today’s episode, Vince sits down with former California corrections lieutenant Hector Bravo to break down what he says is a growing crisis inside the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR).
Bravo, who served 16 years in the system, alleges how shifts in policy—including the “Agreement to End Hostilities” and the merging of general population with protective custody inmates—have led to rising violence, weakened accountability, and expanded control by organized gangs and cartels.
The conversation covers the so-called “72-hour rule,” increased attacks on correctional staff, and how political agendas may be driving dangerous decisions at the top. Bravo also shares his personal experience walking away from a career in corrections after witnessing what he describes as a culture of silence and self-preservation at the expense of safety.
