Prison Counts

This incredible episode of Prison Counts Podcast is a twofer! We get to speak to Amazing Race champion and former prosecutor Brook Camhi about what it's like to win the amazing race and more importantly, she takes us behind the scenes of what it's like to be a prosecutor in America. Boy have I got some questions! 

This episode is bonkers! We have Russ Faria fresh off a brand new Dateline episode and a NBC mini-series about the case he was wrongfully convicted of. Check out his book Bone Deep, the mini-series "The Thing About Pam", and the most recent Dateline episode "The Real Thing About Pam". Can't wait to hear your thoughts about this one!

In this insightful and episode of Prison Counts Podcast we discuss Senate bill 1201, (call a Missouri State Senator to support), which would grant innocent people a fair chance to appeal their convictions. Very important! We also have Bill Ferguson back on to discuss a video and petition he's releasing to the public which will expose more in the Heitholt case and hopefully get the Columbia Police Department to to do the one thing any rookie investigator would have done, yet twenty years later they still have not, and that's investigate the last person to see the victim alive. Do you think Michael Boyd committed this crime? If so call the Columbia Police department and demand them to do their jobs! 

This weeks episode follows up on the fun we had last week of answering listener questions about ourselves and prison. Thanks again to everyone for the great questions. We know we didn't get to them all but will answer more in upcoming episodes. 

In todays episode, Ryan and Dave answer any and all questions about prison pertaining to the first 15 episodes of Prison Counts Podcast! A big thanks to all of our listeners an all of the amazing responses. So many in fact that we couldn't answer everything in one episode! Join us agin in the following weeks as we wrap up answering all of these great inquiries!

Today we do the undoable, we talk to a warden! 

In this awesome episode within a mini-series, we discuss different places to live within prison. Interestingly enough, Ryan learns about living structures that didn't exist in the prison he was in and Dave discusses the trials and tribulations involved with helping create those safe structures as an inmate. Doing the right thing is not always the safe thing in prison. This is a fun one!

This is the first of an amazing three part series where Dave goes back into a prison in Moberly Missouri where he spent 8 years of his life to catch up with fellow inmates and to explore what the progressive leadership there is doing to give inmates opportunities to grow and succeed. This is what prison counts is all about! We fully support what they're doing there and are happy to bring these discussions to the public sphere. Positive change can happen if we support it and nurture it. The proof is in the pudding... and the next three episodes! 

Our guest today has a great story! After finding himself at a crossroads between the criminal life or one of hard work and helping others, he chose right. Years after spending over a year in prison, Steve came out of that situation ready to build a business while also not forgetting about those who have made a wrong choice or two in life. Hiring an ex-convict is a rather large debate in todays society. Hear first hand what it's like to employ the "unemployable". 

In this unique episode, Ryan and Dave answer listener questions about what a typical day in prison is like. From the crazy to the mundane, the hosts of Prison Counts Podcast riff on some of their own crazy experiences while living in this bizarre world.
