Stop the Torture

In this episode, Amy and Nicole discuss the recent press conference held by the Dodge County Sheriff regarding the deaths of four inmates at the Waupun prison. They highlight the lack of proper care and treatment for inmates, including inconsistent medication administration and the presence of drugs in the facility. They also discuss the culture within the Department of Corrections (DOC) and the need for better training and support for correctional officers. The hosts express their frustration with the charges brought against the employees involved, which are classified as class I felonies instead of class A homicides. They emphasize the importance of holding the DOC accountable for the broken system and the inhumane conditions in which inmates are living. The conversation highlights the deplorable conditions in prisons, such as the lack of dignity, outdated facilities, and contaminated water. It also discusses the financial motivations behind the prison system and the corrupt practices of officials. The protest in front of the prison and the mayor's admission that keeping the prison open is a moneymaker for the town is mentioned. The conversation emphasizes the need for change and the importance of sharing stories and raising awareness to bring about that change.
