Registry Matters

We were joined by Guy Hamilton Smith on this episode of Registry Matters! Guy brings an incredibly insightful point of view about the policies surrounding the registry.  We cover a listener question about being coerced into taking a polygraph – can you refuse and what would happen if you did so; A man with terminal cancer won’t die soon enough to receive compassionate relief; Of course we need a new registry – Michigan proposes a child abuse registry; Inmates in Alabama are shackled to buckets for days to eliminate contraband; Legislation by Lauren Book in Florida would create a registry for those who pay for sex; Senators in Arizona stop bill giving more rights to sex abuse victims;

In this Diamond edition of Registry Matters, we tackle two listener questions and have a theatrical reading; Shocker: no evidence supporting the efficacy of the registry; Presidential politicians suggest giving all citizens the right to vote – even ones that we don’t like; Alabama prisons are not safe for anyone: staff or inmates; Kentucky teen pleads guilty for arson and murder of man on the registry; Amazon facial recognition is an unrestrained tool for law enforcement; Prison in Tennessee, run by CoreCivic, has a poor track record of inmate safety; Legislature in Florida does not want certain people to vote; Federal judge overturns conviction on ex post facto grounds; Florida set to pass law prohibiting acts with obscene or lewd materials; VA Governor will not sign any new laws with mandatory minimums.

In this first episode of April, we received a large amount of questions and voicemail; we cover a news item that shows strong support for people using or purchasing products that hire formerly incarcerated people; A man in Missouri soon to be executed requested a different method of execution, and SCOTUS denied it – the 8th Amendment doesn’t guarantee a painless death, but does prevent there from being a more painful death; And how inconsistent we are with providing a religious advisor at an execution based on different religions; Instead of revealing the software tools being used, prosecutors drop charges after being questioned; College student sentenced to 12 years in prison and he says he didn’t do it; Another shocker, Alabama prison has “Horrendously inadequate” medical treatment; Decision from Illinois where individuals are held past their release date, thus violating their constitutional rights.
