In a follow-up from episode 32, rookie correctional officer Reagan returns to the podcast to talk about life inside the walls. She discusses how inmates have tested her limits, tried to gain her confidence and compromise her, and her once falling under the eyes of a supervisor's suspicion. How being an officer She talks about attending an elite 12-week academy, the challenges and rewards and what it means for her future career.

Jake Joke: A+

Ralph Hendry and Kathy Brandel are 'presumed dead,' but their bodies haven't been found. The retired American couple were aboard their dockside yacht in Grenada after three prison escapees from a Caribbean island when the vessel was seized in a getaway attempt. It was later found abandoned with no one aboard 70 miles off the coast of St. Vincent. The three men responsible have been apprehended but we still don't know the sad fate of the sailors, or how the men were able to leave police custody-- poor tactics? Was it poor infrastructure? Worst of all, an ethical lapse?

Jake Joke: C (see what I did there)

Randall Hepp, the warden of a Waupun, a maximum-security Wisconsin prison, and staffers were charged following investigations into the ⁠deaths of four inmates over the past year⁠, including one that wasn't discovered until at least 12 hours after the inmate died.

Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt led the investigation into the death and took made a press conference to the media in which grand-standed about the great failures of State officials. Is this strange politicking or local government at its finest?

Jake Joke: Totally Predictable

When a firearm goes inside the walls, someone's getting taken hostage or murdered. What's a true phenomenon is that an inmate in possession of a firearm would kill a staff member before turning it on himself, with a suicide note left behind. All the power of a gun and the inmate only chose to settle the beef he had with his bae and with himself. But how did the gun get inside the now infamous Smith State Prison in Georgia, where two staffers have already died this year?

Jake Joke: Yes, this episode has one.

Some wanted asshole tried to get into a secure area at the airport. Arrested, he goes to jail. He cannot post bond because he has a warrant from Fulton County on a probation violation. Held for extradition, he fails to disclose his own health and mental health problems to the jail's nurse upon admission. After less than a day, he tries to fling himself off a tier. First to respond are his fellow inmates, calling for officers to help. They grab onto him and throw down mattresses to cushion him should he fall. The officers pile on to prevent his death. In Irvo Otieno fashion, he fights all seven officers. In Keenan Anderson fashion, a taser is deployed. Now he is dead, and literally all the staff are fired. The political opportunist prosecutor who sent Hannah Payne to prison for life brings criminal charges against the rank-and-file guys at the bottom and the chief deputy washes his hands of them. Oh, yeah, 'cause it matters, he was a black guy that entire time.

All of this and more is why Jon goes insane in this episode.

Jake Joke: barely saves the day.

What do inmates eat? Well recently, it was an Fulton County Detention Officers' ear. Pretty horrible. This is in the same place where an inmate was eaten by bed bugs. They have got to change the menu in Fulton County. Some inmate went straight Mike Tyson on an officer recently, but she's doing okay. Down in Phoenix, an ex-con decided in 2020 the innovate and bring prison "cuisine" outside the walls on a food truck. But will Ramen and pickles draw a crowd?

Light fare for a Monday.

Jake Joke: Food related. But D+
