The Medical Parole House and Senate Bill, in Massachusetts, is described as the following: To ensure that the medical parole works as the Legislature originally intended by providing a measure of public decency toward incarcerated people who are terminally ill or permanently incapacitated while ensuring public safety. This Massachusetts House Bill was written by local Massachusetts House Representative Mindy Domb with the support of Prisoners Legal Services, an organization that considers itself a champion that ‘carries the water’ for current and formerly incarcerated individuals, despite the lawyer ratio of over 3,000 to one.  This episode’s conversation may be centered on the State of Massachusetts, but the conversation of Medical Parole is one that is played out, State by State, across the U.S.  The key words to finding success for this bill, human decency, and public safety.  Where would you stand?

In Episode 45, Attorney Ada Lin of Prisoners’ Legal Services in Boston, Massachusetts discussed the need for the pending House and Senate Bill that would allow for a more compassionate release of those incarcerated individuals who were terminally ill or permanently incapacitated and facing an end-of-life situation.

Au Québec, trois suicides surviennent chaque jour, avec une prévalence particulièrement alarmante chez les garçons, trois fois supérieure à celle des filles. Les jeunes souffrant de troubles mentaux comme le trouble bipolaire ou le TDAH présentent un risque accru de pensées suicidaires. Ces données appellent à une action préventive immédiate, notamment à travers des groupes de discussion pour briser le silence et encourager la parole, ainsi qu'à une adaptation de l'éducation vers une acceptation de la douleur comme partie intégrante de la vie pour espérer changer ces sombres statistiques.

In January 2024, the criminal justice system progressed for many in Massachusetts and digressed for those on death row in Alabama.  In Massachusetts, Attorney Ryan Schiff and others ligated a landmark decision where it is now unconstitutional to sentence any adult, under the age of 21, to life without parole. This new law, in Massachusetts, currently affects 200 incarcerated individuals. The door is now open for them to apply for parole and show that they’ve rehabilitated.  This reversal of the current law is based on the advancements in scientific research that the brains of emerging adults, up to age 21, are not yet fully developed. Only one other state, Louisiana, still has a life without parole sentencing for those under the age of 21, for first degree murder.   Within 2 weeks of this landmark decision, the State of Alabama executed 58-year-old Kenneth Smith, for murder, with the use of Nitrogen Gas.  As David Hoose, a long time Criminal Defense Attorney notes, ‘there is never a good way to kill someone, and right now Nitrogen Gas is the flavor of the month”. So, as we know, once again, how you live or die depends on where you serve your time.

The Hustler Files Ep. 49 - Prison Reform Takes One Step Forward & One Step Back

For most adults in the U.S. their only exposure to the criminal justice proceeding, known as parole, is what they see on film.  But the actual details behind parole hearings, those who qualify, and the process for those incarcerated to receive their freedom is not for the faint of heart.  As Attorney Ryan Schiff says, “In a parole hearing, we as attorney’s must take a back seat and no longer be the Director of the proceeding, like we are with our clients, pre-incarceration”.   Another fact, the knowledge of a parole hearing, for an incarcerated individual can be many years away.  As Attorney Melissa Celli states, “You can walk into any prison in the United States and ask an incarcerated individual the date of their parole hearing, no matter how far in the future, and they will know it.”   Join Melissa and Ryan as they open a door to the true facts behind parole.

Sheriff Patrick Cahillane will tell you that as an elected official of the people, his first responsibility is to the community. But as part of that citizen responsibility, Sheriff Cahillane is also progressive in his thought processes and actions, and as such implements programs and opportunities that will not only help those in his charge, behind the wall, but also those who are released and are in the process of re-entering the community, and like on part of this day, it’s all about creating a human connection between the incarcerated men and a handful of floppy eared Nubian goats.

No one could ever accuse Liz Buxton, Director of Operations at the Western MA Food Processing Center, of having a small heart, especially when it comes to Fair Chance Hiring. Even her wife wrote about her on LinkedIn after this episode aired on @WHMP Radio.  ‘My wife constantly amazes me. She's an incredible human and inspirational leader. She leads with her heart. It's what makes her, and her impact, so special.’  And her impact is special.  Just ask her Floor Supervisor, Scott Savoie, who served five years behind the wall before finding work at the Food Processing Center.  As he puts it, he wasn’t sure that he’d ever find a job once he returned to the community.  In his former life he was a mechanic, but years of bending over an engine had taken its toll.  With Liz and the Food Processing Center, Scott is able to take his mechanical skills and transfer them to the upkeep of the processing equipment.  He’ll be the first one to tell you that having the opportunity to start a new career and work with Liz has been two of his greatest blessings.

Les Morts Ont La Parole, livre Audio 🎧 de Philippe Boxho

Avec plus de trente ans d’expérience en tant que médecin légiste, le docteur Philippe Boxho nous plonge dans son quotidien, où la mort peut être trompeuse, les cadavres s’évaporer, les meurtres se camoufler et les suicides se révéler surprenants.

De la scène de crime à la salle d’autopsie, en passant par l’enquête policière, cet expert médico-légal nous dévoile son métier-passion. Il nous décrit l'évolution des corps post-mortem avec des récits de mouches, puis s'attarde sur cet homme qui pensait mourir d’un seul coup de feu mais a dû en tirer quatorze, sur un autre qui, tentant de se pendre, est décédé d’une fracture du crâne, sur ce meurtrier qui n’aurait jamais dû boire, ou encore sur cette défunte qui transpirait malgré elle.

Les histoires présentées ici sont authentiques, aucune fiction. Inutile d’inventer quoi que ce soit, la réalité est déjà suffisamment incroyable lorsque l'on parle de mourir, de tuer, de se suicider, de faire disparaître un corps. Âmes sensibles, passez votre chemin...

Unfortunately the cycle of domestic abuse can be handed down, from generation to generation, and it is an inheritance that can prove deadly.  Such was the case for Kelly Savage-Rodriguez.  Kelly grew up in an abusive family, and her mother was constantly, in the criminal justice system.  Kelly herself was in a domestic violence situation when sadly she lost her 4 year old son, at the hands of her then husband. While Kelly’s husband was sentenced to LWOP - Life Without Parole, Kelly herself was charged, at the time, with the California failure to protect law. Kelly served 23 years behind the wall and she also lost her baby daughter to her ex-husbands family. But Kelly wasn’t going to quit fighting for her release, and in November of 2018 had her LWOP sentence commuted by then California Governor Brown.  Through all of Kelly’s pain, she used her time in prison to not only improve herself, but help others, including taking on a role with the California Coalition of Women Prisoners, as a Drop LWOP Coordinator.  Kelly is still in that role today, but fortunately outside the wall.
