Re-Release - "The Shocking Truth" - A Survivor Speaks - Judge Rotenberg Center - Canton, Massachusetts


Listen Later

Due to technical difficulties, I am unable to release a new episode. It's been a week, ya'll!

But I thought I'd take this opportunity to re-release arguably the most important episode I've ever recorded. Every episode is important but, in this case, we have the chance to make a huge difference. To this day, the Judge Rotenberg Center is still using electric shock therapy on 53 autistic and/or disabled human beings.

I covered the history of the Judge Rotenberg Center from it's beginning to current day in a seven-part mini-series (episodes 27-34 -originally released 8/5/21). You can binge them or listen to this episode as a stand-alone. This is my interview with the incredible Jen Msumba. Everyone should hear and know her story.

Employee X, Lemonade, and a survivor.


Judge Rotenberg Center in Canton, Massachusetts is a day and residential school treating children from as young as five, all the way through adulthood with intellectual disabilities, psychiatric issues and those on the autism spectrum since 1971. 


JRC has been surrounded in controversy with allegations of abuse since it was founded by Matthew Israel. 


Something that experts and the United Nations deem as torture. Something the FDA banned but is still being used as a treatment today, the Graduated Electronic Decelerator.
