The only way you're going to get it out is to cry...I think the average person, especially people who tend to lean towards the right, they really want it to be an inhumane experience, or it seems like, at the very least, they're indifferent to the inhumane treatment.
What really goes on behind prison walls? In this gripping episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin sits down with writer Brandon Stickney to uncover the harsh truths about America's profit-driven prison industry. Having spent time in four different prisons, Brandon brings a unique perspective on the inhumane conditions and systemic issues that plague these institutions.
From the rampant violence and gang culture to the lack of positive role models, he paints a vivid picture of life on the inside. But it's not all bleak; Brandon also discusses the importance of support groups and the need for healing and rehabilitation for those incarcerated. He even advocates for the legalization of drugs within prisons as a step towards reducing violence and fostering a more humane environment.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in social justice and prison reform, offering a raw and eye-opening look at the challenges and potential solutions within the American prison system.
