This week we’re bringing you a story from our friends over at the Motive podcast from WBEZ Chicago.

This season, they’re investigating the hidden world of small town prisons and the issues behind the walls that go unseen.

The series exposes violence and coverups within the intertwined lives of the prisoners, guards and staff. Set in a place where everyone knows each other, Motive is a story of scandal and the truths being buried in our prisons.
