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.
