Tune in here to this Friday’s edition of the Brett Winterble Show! 

We're joined by Michael Whatley NC Senate candidate to discuss growing controversy surrounding the release of thousands of inmates during the COVID era under former Governor Roy Cooper. Whatley criticizes the decision to release roughly 3,500 prisoners, arguing the move endangered public safety and led to repeat offenses, including violent crimes and murders allegedly committed by some released inmates.

The conversation focuses on concerns over transparency, accountability, and the long-term consequences of pandemic-era criminal justice policies in North Carolina. Brett and Whatley also discuss claims that many of the released inmates had serious criminal histories, including violent offenses and crimes against children. The interview highlights broader debates over bail reform, crime policy, law enforcement support, and public frustration with what critics describe as a revolving-door justice system that prioritizes offenders over victims and communities.
