Ep. 11 Update- Alex Mello

In this update episode of Prison Exposed, hosts Sahai and Hope sit down with Alex Mello to talk about what it means to navigate serious medical concerns inside the federal prison system, and how those experiences continue to shape life after release.

Alex recounts his experiences seeking care while incarcerated, including delayed follow-up, conflicting medical interpretations, and the structural barriers that shape how healthcare is delivered and denied. His story highlights how medical decision-making inside carceral settings is often filtered through institutional convenience rather than patient-centered care.

We also check in on how Alex is doing now, as he describes the difference in care he’s receiving and what it means to be taken seriously as a patient.

In addition, we share a brief update on Jerry Cooper.
