Get ready for a faster, summer-ready format of Impolite Society!

In this episode of Impolite Society, Laura and Rachel dive deep into the grim reality of what happens to pedophiles in prison. Challenging Hollywood's portrayal and societal assumptions, we explore whether these offenders really get 'what's coming to them.' With a mix of dark humor and in-depth research, we discuss the daily lives, security levels, and eventual fate of these incarcerated individuals. This episode is not for the faint-hearted, but it offers a candid look into prison justice, supported by real-life cases and studies.
