Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / The Death Of Jeffrey Epstein Was The Final Straw For MCC As A Facility
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Well, it looks like the lockup where Jeffrey Epstein allegedly
- 0:08Speaker 1: killed himself is about to be closed down. According to reports,
- 0:14Speaker 1: the MCC is going to be shuttered, at least for
- 0:18Speaker 1: a short period of time, while they work on bringing
- 0:21Speaker 1: it up to industry standards. And what do the 230-something
- 0:27Speaker 1: inmates win as a prize? For this place being shut down,
- 0:31Speaker 1: they get to be sent to the Brooklyn lockup. Yeah,
- 0:34Speaker 1: you know, to the lapses of luxury over there at
- 0:38Speaker 1: the Brooklyn lockup. Folks, I've told you from the jump,
- 0:42Speaker 1: I am not a fan of the Department of Corrections.
- 0:46Speaker 1: I am not a fan of the facilities being old
- 0:49Speaker 1: and decrepit and broken down and run down and shoddy.
- 0:53Speaker 1: There's plenty of money. to fix these places up. Look,
- 0:57Speaker 1: I'm not saying they should be a, it should be
- 0:59Speaker 1: a resort, right? But it should be livable, basic livable conditions.
- 1:04Speaker 1: A room, running water, a bathtub, a toilet bowl, I mean,
- 1:08Speaker 1: a place to brush your teeth in the morning, you know,
- 1:12Speaker 1: the basics. And beyond that, it should be by, you know,
- 1:17Speaker 1: what crimes have been committed and, you know, If you're
- 1:20Speaker 1: in there for a lesser crime, you should get more
- 1:23Speaker 1: ability to move freely or have more freedom within the
- 1:28Speaker 1: facility or to purchase said comfort items, right? Because at
- 1:35Speaker 1: the end of the day, it has to be about rehabilitation.
- 1:38Speaker 1: And if you just lose people into the system, toss
- 1:41Speaker 1: them into these jails, into these lockups, and they're hellholes, well,
- 1:46Speaker 1: you got somebody who goes in there on maybe a
- 1:48Speaker 1: three-year stint Who comes out of there with a master's
- 1:52Speaker 1: degree in criminology. And I'm not talking about being a lawyer,
- 1:55Speaker 1: my friend. Imagine you have nothing else to do. And
- 1:59Speaker 1: you're locked up with some criminal fucking mastermind for 18
- 2:03Speaker 1: hours a day. And this dude's blowing all kinds of
- 2:05Speaker 1: stories in your brain. Now you're there, right? And it's
- 2:11Speaker 1: a little bit longer. You're getting a little bit more comfortable.
- 2:13Speaker 1: So you're there on a two-year stint. Well, now you
- 2:16Speaker 1: got to do work for whoever your people are. So
- 2:20Speaker 1: that two-year stint becomes five years. So now you're disillusioned
- 2:24Speaker 1: with everything, right? You're pissed. You were there for two years,
- 2:27Speaker 1: but you were forced to do dirt for the cause,
- 2:30Speaker 1: whatever the cause may be when you're in prison. Insert
- 2:33Speaker 1: fucked up situation here. So now you've made your problems
- 2:37Speaker 1: even worse. But what are you going to do? It's
- 2:41Speaker 1: either that or your people do whatever they told you
- 2:44Speaker 1: to do to another person to you. So look, these
- 2:49Speaker 1: prisons aren't a fun place. These jails aren't a fun place.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Nobody wants to be there, right? And I think that
- 2:56Speaker 1: we should have levels to it. So if you're there
- 2:58Speaker 1: for a crime, it's your first offense, and it's a
- 3:00Speaker 1: nonviolent crime, probably a work camp for you, in my opinion.
- 3:04Speaker 1: No need to be in prison where you're going to
- 3:06Speaker 1: catch extra years because you got to do dirt, right?
- 3:10Speaker 1: You go to one of these low-level camps... One of
- 3:12Speaker 1: these low-level prison camps... Where it's like a complete... No-touch policy, right?
- 3:18Speaker 1: If somebody wilds out and fights with somebody... They're gone.
- 3:21Speaker 1: They go automatically back to medium security... Or whatever it is.
- 3:25Speaker 1: There's a lot of incentive there... For people to not fight.
- 3:29Speaker 1: A lot of incentive there... For people to learn. And
- 3:33Speaker 1: if we want to rehabilitate people... We have to offer
- 3:36Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Punishment's fine and well. And I'm
- 3:40Speaker 1: all for it, right? If you play the game... You
- 3:42Speaker 1: got to pay the price if you get caught. It's
- 3:45Speaker 1: your job as a criminal not to get caught. It's
- 3:47Speaker 1: society's job to catch you. So if you're out there
- 3:52Speaker 1: doing dirt and you get caught up, hey, that's part
- 3:55Speaker 1: of it, right? That's, you know, I'm not saying there
- 3:56Speaker 1: shouldn't be any prison at all, but it's not a
- 3:59Speaker 1: one shoe fits all here. We got, you know, such
- 4:03Speaker 1: a diverse country, such a diverse world. And each case,
- 4:09Speaker 1: even when they're even in the same neighborhood, each case
- 4:13Speaker 1: is unique. So mandatory sentencing and all of that stuff,
- 4:17Speaker 1: I am completely against it. 100%. Just like I'm against
- 4:21Speaker 1: the death penalty. I used to be for it, but
- 4:24Speaker 1: I am against it these days. I need to see it.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Unless there's overwhelming evidence, right? Overwhelming evidence. Then that's a
- 4:33Speaker 1: different story. But if there is even an iota of
- 4:37Speaker 1: a doubt, Should the state really be able to execute
- 4:41Speaker 1: a citizen? I don't know. I mean, I guess there's
- 4:47Speaker 1: a conversation to be had there, right? I'm not completely,
- 4:51Speaker 1: you know, against it where I would, you know, die
- 4:54Speaker 1: on that hill. I'm willing to listen to other arguments
- 4:56Speaker 1: about pro stance for it. But I personally am not
- 5:02Speaker 1: comfortable with the state having that power. I don't trust
- 5:08Speaker 1: the state and I don't care who's at the helm.
- 5:13Speaker 1: The power of the few is always a burden to
- 5:17Speaker 1: the many. And how often do we have to see that?
- 5:21Speaker 1: I mean on a regular basis throughout time. So we
- 5:27Speaker 1: have to be very careful with the powers that are
- 5:29Speaker 1: given to the state in my opinion. Especially when it
- 5:33Speaker 1: comes to life or death over somebody. So these facilities
- 5:39Speaker 1: in general are a shit show. They're disgusting. They're a pigsty.
- 5:43Speaker 1: They're gross. I've heard from friends of my own that
- 5:47Speaker 1: have been in these places, loved ones. Not the kind
- 5:50Speaker 1: of place you want to be. In fact, I visited
- 5:53Speaker 1: a federal penitentiary a few times myself when I was younger,
- 5:57Speaker 1: going to see people that I care about up in Lompoc.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Not the kind of place I'd ever want to be.
- 6:03Speaker 1: I can tell you guys that much right now. And
- 6:05Speaker 1: the whole process of getting in there is a shit
- 6:07Speaker 1: show too. Those guards don't want to be there for
- 6:09Speaker 1: the most part. A lot of them aren't happy about things.
- 6:12Speaker 1: And look, do you blame them? Not being paid correctly,
- 6:17Speaker 1: working quadruple shifts, the whole nine. So the whole thing
- 6:21Speaker 1: is effed up, right? The whole thing is just completely
- 6:23Speaker 1: screwed up. And it has to be fixed. And a
- 6:26Speaker 1: band-aid isn't going to fix it. Closing this facility, like
- 6:30Speaker 1: we're going to talk about in this episode... is a
- 6:33Speaker 1: step in the right direction, in my opinion, to get
- 6:36Speaker 1: things up to a standard. But once they're up to
- 6:38Speaker 1: a standard, are they going to stay there? And are
- 6:40Speaker 1: people going to be held responsible if they do not?
- 6:46Speaker 1: Because like I always tell you guys, if you or
- 6:48Speaker 1: I are at work and we have responsibilities, we have
- 6:52Speaker 1: to do our responsibilities. We have to adhere to those
- 6:55Speaker 1: or else we're going to be out of a job.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Let me tell you what, that unemployment is about to
- 7:00Speaker 1: run out soon, folks. That's not the kind Not the
- 7:02Speaker 1: place you want to find yourself these days. But these people,
- 7:06Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, right? Go all the way back to
- 7:09Speaker 1: even 9-11. Nobody got fired? Are you kidding me? That
- 7:13Speaker 1: kind of intelligence failure and nobody gets shitcanned? Okay, I guess.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Be a sportsbook supervisor and have somebody hit a horse
- 7:25Speaker 1: that requires a signer and don't get it signed and
- 7:27Speaker 1: see how quick your shit gets screwed. But 9-11, 3,000
- 7:33Speaker 1: plus Americans dead. No big deal. Nobody's losing a job.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Come on. We're the Borg here. And it's just unseemly.
- 7:44Speaker 1: That there is no responsibility. Nobody ever gets brought before
- 7:48Speaker 1: the carpet. And if they do, what do they get?
- 7:50Speaker 1: Reshuffled around? Moved to a different facility? People aren't losing
- 7:54Speaker 1: pensions over this. And they should be. And if there's criminal...
- 7:59Speaker 1: Elements going on here... If they've done something criminal... They
- 8:02Speaker 1: should be charged in that regard as well... So... Let's see...
- 8:09Speaker 1: What happens moving forward... But... Definitely a step in the
- 8:13Speaker 1: right direction... At least... To try and clean up some
- 8:16Speaker 1: of these facilities... Because let's remember guys... And ladies out there...
- 8:20Speaker 1: And everybody out there... Not everybody in this lockup... Is
- 8:24Speaker 1: Ghislaine Maxwell... We have to keep that in mind... Right?
- 8:27Speaker 1: We have to have that balance... We can't just be
- 8:31Speaker 1: pitchforks and torches at the door with blood on our
- 8:34Speaker 1: minds and that's it. There's other people in these facilities
- 8:38Speaker 1: that have done way less than Ghislaine Maxwell. Some have
- 8:41Speaker 1: done more, right? Probably. But there are people there that
- 8:46Speaker 1: are just caught up in this disgusting shit that are
- 8:50Speaker 1: only going to be there for a year, year and
- 8:51Speaker 1: a half. They deserve to live in this disgusting grossness.
- 8:57Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm just not comfortable with it. Like
- 9:00Speaker 1: I said, as I'm getting older, I'm becoming more empathetic.
- 9:03Speaker 1: If you would have asked me five years ago how
- 9:05Speaker 1: I felt about all of this, I wouldn't have given
- 9:07Speaker 1: one single damn about any of these people in this prison.
- 9:10Speaker 1: I was so wrapped up in my own nonsense that
- 9:14Speaker 1: I couldn't see the forest through the trees. So busy
- 9:17Speaker 1: playing tribalism. Oh, us versus them. Meanwhile, it's always been
- 9:24Speaker 1: them versus us if you get my drift. So now
- 9:29Speaker 1: I see it in a completely different way. And when
- 9:31Speaker 1: you experience it yourself, right, you go through it, you
- 9:34Speaker 1: have family members or relatives or friends that get caught
- 9:37Speaker 1: up in the system and you know they're good people
- 9:39Speaker 1: who just made a mistake, right? Tried to cheat the
- 9:42Speaker 1: system maybe. Shit happens. But for them to have to
- 9:46Speaker 1: go into an environment such as this and worry about being,
- 9:49Speaker 1: you know, murdered or assaulted or God forbid something else,
- 9:54Speaker 1: sexually assaulted, whatever it is, Now, I'm not comfortable with that.
- 9:58Speaker 1: That's not that's not what Jay. is supposed to be, right?
- 10:03Speaker 1: We got to rehabilitate some of these people. So I
- 10:06Speaker 1: hope this is a step towards getting this facility under
- 10:09Speaker 1: control and keeping it that way. But it's going to
- 10:13Speaker 1: take a monumental push by the powers that be. And
- 10:18Speaker 1: if the indications that we're seeing across the board hold true,
- 10:26Speaker 1: there's no chance. So, let's jump into this article from
- 10:30Speaker 1: the Daily News, and let's see what Noah Goldberg and
- 10:34Speaker 1: Stephen Rex Brown have to say. The dysfunctional federal jail
- 10:39Speaker 1: where Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself, allegedly, in 2019, will be
- 10:44Speaker 1: closed at least temporarily, the Justice Department said on Thursday. Well,
- 10:49Speaker 1: the Justice Department's hard at work, folks. You can always
- 10:52Speaker 1: count on your Justice Department to make sure things are
- 10:55Speaker 1: moving in the right direction. And you can always count
- 10:57Speaker 1: on them for transparency. The Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower
- 11:03Speaker 1: Manhattan could be shut down as soon as the coming month,
- 11:06Speaker 1: sources say. In an effort to address the issues at
- 11:10Speaker 1: MCC NY as quickly and efficiently as possible, the department
- 11:16Speaker 1: has decided to close the MCC at least temporarily, until
- 11:20Speaker 1: those issues have been resolved. Planning for the deactivation is underway,
- 11:25Speaker 1: and we will have more updates as the process continues,
- 11:28Speaker 1: a DOJ spokeswoman said in a statement. Well, that's nice.
- 11:32Speaker 1: They're going to have more updates for you as things
- 11:34Speaker 1: move along, folks. See, that's that transparency that they're known
- 11:37Speaker 1: for over at the Department of Justice and at the
- 11:40Speaker 1: Bureau of Prisons. Do you guys know the Inspector General?
- 11:45Speaker 1: over at the Department of Justice, still has not concluded
- 11:49Speaker 1: his case and look into what happened with Jeffrey Epstein? Really?
- 11:56Speaker 1: All these years later? Really? What are you up to
- 11:58Speaker 1: up there, Mr. Horowitz? What are you guys doing? Again,
- 12:05Speaker 1: just like everything else, they'll try and make it forever
- 12:08Speaker 1: for the report to come out. How long did we
- 12:10Speaker 1: wait for the redacted pages of the 9-11 report? They
- 12:15Speaker 1: don't want you to know the truth and that's the
- 12:17Speaker 1: biggest problem. They do not want you to know the truth.
- 12:24Speaker 1: They're so used to being able to package it the
- 12:26Speaker 1: way they want it and serve it up to you
- 12:28Speaker 1: the way they want to serve it up to you
- 12:30Speaker 1: that it has disrupted their whole entire system since they're
- 12:35Speaker 1: not able to do that right now because there's so
- 12:38Speaker 1: many different outlets for you to get your news now, right?
- 12:41Speaker 1: You're not reliant on their narrative anymore. Sources were skeptical
- 12:48Speaker 1: the jail would ever resume operations resembling previous years, when
- 12:52Speaker 1: the jail held 700 or more inmates. The jail currently
- 12:56Speaker 1: holds only 263 inmates, according to Bureau of Prisons data. Alright, well,
- 13:02Speaker 1: I said 230-something, so even more than that, right? 263
- 13:06Speaker 1: are there, but it's usually running, when it's at capacity,
- 13:09Speaker 1: at 700. And this... throughout history has been considered one
- 13:15Speaker 1: of the more secure federal holding facilities, right? Because remember,
- 13:19Speaker 1: this is just a jail. This is not a prison.
- 13:22Speaker 1: This is a holding facility. As you're waiting to be sentenced,
- 13:24Speaker 1: going to trial, waiting to get your bid, this is
- 13:27Speaker 1: where you would wait. So this place had 700 people
- 13:33Speaker 1: who were in transit waiting on bids one way or
- 13:36Speaker 1: the other to go upstate to whatever federal facility they
- 13:39Speaker 1: were sentenced to. And it was one of the most
- 13:43Speaker 1: secure facilities for a very long time, according to sources, right?
- 13:50Speaker 1: The place is just fucking falling apart, one jail insider said. Literally,
- 13:55Speaker 1: for years now, there's water leakages, there's water leakages, saturation
- 14:00Speaker 1: of the concrete infrastructure of some of those floors going
- 14:03Speaker 1: on for years. That's a big reason for having to
- 14:06Speaker 1: do this. The deterioration of the structure. So, you know,
- 14:10Speaker 1: the devil's always in the details, right? It's not because
- 14:13Speaker 1: people were being treated inhumanely there. No, that would never happen.
- 14:17Speaker 1: It's not because, you know, the facility is just a
- 14:20Speaker 1: dump in general. There's actually foundational issues. So they're probably
- 14:25Speaker 1: required by law to go in there and fix those, right?
- 14:28Speaker 1: That's the only reason they're doing it. What do they
- 14:30Speaker 1: care for the most part? The shutdown presents major logistical
- 14:38Speaker 1: challenges for Manhattan Federal Court, which is connected to the jail.
- 14:42Speaker 1: District Executive Ed Friedland, who is in charge of the
- 14:46Speaker 1: court's operations, said he had not been notified of the plan.
- 14:50Speaker 1: So it's going to be a logistical nightmare for the
- 14:53Speaker 1: Department of Corrections. Now, thankfully, it's the Federal Department of Corrections, right?
- 14:58Speaker 1: And I say thankfully with a smirk on my face
- 15:00Speaker 1: and not the state. run Department of Corrections because we
- 15:04Speaker 1: see what's going on at Rikers. Refer to my article
- 15:07Speaker 1: about Riker, I mean my episode about Rikers being a
- 15:10Speaker 1: dumpster fire. So we're glad that it's not the state, right?
- 15:14Speaker 1: God forbid. But I mean, are the feds really going
- 15:19Speaker 1: to be able to handle it as well logistically? Bringing
- 15:22Speaker 1: prisoners from Brooklyn? I mean, it's going to be a lot, right?
- 15:27Speaker 1: Do they have the resources for this? I hope they do.
- 15:33Speaker 1: One source said more than 100 inmates have been moved
- 15:36Speaker 1: from MCC to Brooklyn's federal jail, the Metropolitan Detention Center
- 15:40Speaker 1: in Sunset Park, in the last year. The bulk of
- 15:44Speaker 1: the people will go to the MDC, and the marshals
- 15:46Speaker 1: are looking for other places to put people, one source said,
- 15:50Speaker 1: adding that MCC is the only local federal jail with
- 15:54Speaker 1: a methadone clinic for heroin-addicted inmates. Well, that's going to
- 15:58Speaker 1: cause a bit of a problem for these people who
- 16:00Speaker 1: are coming down off that heroin, huh? Not going to
- 16:03Speaker 1: be a fun time. So what are they going to do?
- 16:09Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure they have a plan in place, right?
- 16:12Speaker 1: It's the feds. We see on a regular basis how
- 16:15Speaker 1: fantastic that all comes into fruition, right? So you got
- 16:20Speaker 1: heroin addicted inmates getting moved from one facility to the other.
- 16:24Speaker 1: This other facility that they're going to doesn't have a
- 16:27Speaker 1: methadone clinic. So you're going to have a bunch of
- 16:29Speaker 1: people drying out off of heroin. Or what are they
- 16:33Speaker 1: going to do? Set up a temporary methadone clinic? Look,
- 16:35Speaker 1: I have no idea how any of that works. Certainly
- 16:38Speaker 1: not a doctor, not a drug counselor. No idea how
- 16:42Speaker 1: any of that works. I'm sure they could administer the
- 16:46Speaker 1: methadone via a nurse, right? It doesn't have to be
- 16:48Speaker 1: done from a clinic. Maybe there's a law. Again, I
- 16:51Speaker 1: have no idea. But the point is, there are a
- 16:55Speaker 1: lot of moving parts here. So it's going to be
- 16:58Speaker 1: really interesting to see how the Federal Department of Corrections,
- 17:03Speaker 1: makes it all happen. One source said some staffers had
- 17:10Speaker 1: received reduction in force letters notifying them they'd lost their jobs.
- 17:14Speaker 1: But Tyrone Covington, the union rep for correctional officers at MCC,
- 17:19Speaker 1: said none of the rank and file had received such notices.
- 17:22Speaker 1: He knew of no plans to close the jail entirely. Alright, so...
- 17:27Speaker 1: Got a little bit of confusion there, misdirection perhaps, who knows.
- 17:31Speaker 1: The union boss says he has no clue what's going on,
- 17:34Speaker 1: while the feds are saying, eh, this place is getting
- 17:37Speaker 1: shut down. You would think, once again, that the current
- 17:40Speaker 1: administration would be in contact with the guys in the
- 17:43Speaker 1: union and, you know, having a chat about what's coming
- 17:46Speaker 1: down the pipe. Maybe call some people into the office
- 17:49Speaker 1: and let them know, you're going to be losing your job.
- 17:53Speaker 1: Then I hear that and I say to myself, we
- 17:55Speaker 1: know that there's a huge shortage of guards over at
- 17:58Speaker 1: Rikers all over the place, really. So while they're going
- 18:01Speaker 1: to fire these federal agents, these federal guards, why not
- 18:04Speaker 1: just transfer them to a state job instead? Again, everything's
- 18:10Speaker 1: upside down and everything that's supposed to be, you know,
- 18:14Speaker 1: left is right. It's just all it's a screwy world, folks.
- 18:17Speaker 1: We're living in a screwy world. There is a major
- 18:23Speaker 1: drawdown in inmate population, Covington said, adding that he is
- 18:27Speaker 1: happy repairs are underway. The news comes less than a
- 18:31Speaker 1: month after Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco visited the jail
- 18:36Speaker 1: to get a firsthand look at its operations and infrastructure,
- 18:39Speaker 1: given ongoing concerns. Well, that's nice. She was able to
- 18:42Speaker 1: rouse herself from her cozy little spot down there in D.C.,
- 18:47Speaker 1: head over to New York and see how the plebs
- 18:50Speaker 1: are living. Then again, you know, maybe she does care, right?
- 18:57Speaker 1: Maybe she's one of those few people that actually gives
- 19:00Speaker 1: a hell about what's going on, considering that she shows
- 19:02Speaker 1: up and then the place is closing down. All right,
- 19:05Speaker 1: we'll give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe. She
- 19:09Speaker 1: plans to have further meetings about the facility after her
- 19:12Speaker 1: return to Washington, the Justice Department said in an August
- 19:16Speaker 1: 4th release. The lockup has been plagued by headline-grabbing dysfunction
- 19:20Speaker 1: since Epstein hanged himself, allegedly. in his cell while awaiting
- 19:25Speaker 1: trial for sex trafficking of minors. Two correctional officers on
- 19:29Speaker 1: duty that night admitted to neglecting their duties the night
- 19:33Speaker 1: of the sex offender's death as part of a non-prosecution agreement.
- 19:38Speaker 1: So look, we know that this jail is and was
- 19:41Speaker 1: a shitshow. We know that they weren't administering this jail correctly.
- 19:49Speaker 1: And we also know that everything we heard about the
- 19:53Speaker 1: night of Epstein's alleged suicide just doesn't add up now
- 19:59Speaker 1: they're closing the facility where the crime allegedly a crime
- 20:04Speaker 1: occurred interesting The jail also went into a week-long lockdown
- 20:12Speaker 1: after someone snuck a gun into the building in February
- 20:14Speaker 1: of 2020. No one has been charged for the security breach.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Alarming accounts emerged from the jail in 2020 about coronavirus
- 20:23Speaker 1: ravaging inmate housing areas. All right, well, I think that
- 20:26Speaker 1: one is kind of, how do you stop that? You
- 20:29Speaker 1: have a bunch of people in close contact. I mean,
- 20:32Speaker 1: that's kind of difficult to stop, short of letting everybody
- 20:35Speaker 1: out of jail. And I think a lot of that
- 20:38Speaker 1: was done, I mean... I probably wouldn't have let out
- 20:41Speaker 1: violent offenders like some of these people did. But look,
- 20:44Speaker 1: what do I know? I don't have their case files
- 20:46Speaker 1: in front of me. Maybe they've repented. Maybe they've become
- 20:51Speaker 1: better people. Like I always say, I'm interested in who
- 20:53Speaker 1: you are today, not who you were yesterday. But at
- 20:57Speaker 1: the same time, you have to pay your debt to society.
- 21:01Speaker 1: If a jury has rendered that decision, then you have
- 21:05Speaker 1: to pay that debt. One officer in the building was
- 21:12Speaker 1: sentenced to three years in prison last year for preying
- 21:14Speaker 1: on at least seven female inmates at the jail starting
- 21:17Speaker 1: in 2012. Probably a real swell fella, huh? I mean,
- 21:21Speaker 1: how low could you possibly be? What sort of gutter,
- 21:26Speaker 1: swimming rat are you? That you're trying to hook up
- 21:32Speaker 1: with prisoners in your charge as you're a prison guard?
- 21:36Speaker 1: What a pathetic... pathetic human being whoever that is yet
- 21:42Speaker 1: another was arrested after catching a visitor trying to sneak
- 21:45Speaker 1: contraband into the jail and demanded sex from her instead
- 21:49Speaker 1: of getting her in trouble imagine that's the first thing
- 21:52Speaker 1: you think oh look I caught this lady with contraband
- 21:55Speaker 1: instead of ratting her out and getting her in trouble
- 21:58Speaker 1: maybe I could coerce her into you know a little
- 22:01Speaker 1: roll around in the sheets fuck is wrong with you
- 22:06Speaker 1: obviously Not enough life lessons taught to that person throughout
- 22:11Speaker 1: their life. Thinking like that. Inmates have described the jail
- 22:18Speaker 1: as a fetid, bug and mice infested hellhole where feces
- 22:22Speaker 1: leaks out of the busted pipes into cells that get
- 22:25Speaker 1: no heat. Yo, look, that's unacceptable for me. Again, I'll
- 22:30Speaker 1: tell you guys till the cows come home and I'm
- 22:32Speaker 1: willing to defend my opinions on the current state of
- 22:37Speaker 1: the Bureau of Prisons and lockups around the country and
- 22:40Speaker 1: the way prisoners are treated. I'm willing to defend my
- 22:43Speaker 1: positions on this. I feel very strongly about prison reform.
- 22:51Speaker 1: We've tried it the other way. That doesn't work. So
- 22:56Speaker 1: when you hear about, you know, rat feces and shit
- 22:59Speaker 1: like that coming out of pipes, it's really unacceptable. A
- 23:04Speaker 1: basic level of living is a must. And then on
- 23:08Speaker 1: top of that, there has to be programs. And I'm
- 23:12Speaker 1: not talking about some little stupid woodshop program, alright? And
- 23:15Speaker 1: that's all there is. Real programs for people. Where they
- 23:18Speaker 1: go and learn a skill. Teach them how to do audio.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Teach them how to do lighting. Teach them how to
- 23:24Speaker 1: be stagehands. Let the convicts put on plays. I'm talking
- 23:28Speaker 1: about places, minimum security, right folks? Medium security may be
- 23:32Speaker 1: some of this stuff. People that have a chance to
- 23:36Speaker 1: rehabilitate should have that chance. And if you give them
- 23:39Speaker 1: the skill set while they're inside, some of the people
- 23:41Speaker 1: who might not have ever had that chance before, who knows?
- 23:47Speaker 1: Maybe they come out and they feel like they have
- 23:48Speaker 1: something to lose and they don't want to go back
- 23:50Speaker 1: to that hellhole. But we as a society have to
- 23:55Speaker 1: make sure that, you know, our prisons and our jails
- 23:59Speaker 1: are at the very least a livable quality. And I
- 24:06Speaker 1: think that the evidence throughout the years with the way
- 24:10Speaker 1: things have gone at these prisons, it shows you that
- 24:15Speaker 1: when there's no avenue for people to be creative or rehabilitate,
- 24:21Speaker 1: the prisons are an absolute nightmare and people come back
- 24:25Speaker 1: through the revolving door at such a huge clip. So
- 24:31Speaker 1: I'm glad that this facility exists. is getting a facelift,
- 24:35Speaker 1: it looks like, at the very least. And if it
- 24:37Speaker 1: closes down, I'm fine with that too. But, again, what's
- 24:42Speaker 1: going to take its place? What sort of hellhole will
- 24:46Speaker 1: spring up in place of the MCC? We all know
- 24:51Speaker 1: how it goes. They love to put lipstick on a pig,
- 24:54Speaker 1: don't they? So, all we can do, like everything else,
- 25:00Speaker 1: is wait and see. One thing I can tell you, though,
- 25:05Speaker 1: for sure, is you don't ever want to find yourself
- 25:10Speaker 1: in one of these lockups. If you'd like to contact me,

- 25:33Speaker 1: this episode can be found in the description box. What's up, everybody,
- 25:38Speaker 1: and greetings from Sin City. Recently, we found out that
- 25:43Speaker 1: the MCC, the place where Jeffrey Epstein was being held
- 25:48Speaker 1: and where Jeffrey Epstein died, is either being closed down
- 25:54Speaker 1: or getting a facelift. Now, it's kind of... up in
- 26:00Speaker 1: the air which one it's going to be at this point.
- 26:02Speaker 1: We really don't have too much concrete information. But the
- 26:06Speaker 1: New York Post has a new article out talking about
- 26:10Speaker 1: this situation a little bit more. And I figured with
- 26:13Speaker 1: it being a little slow in the world of Jeffrey
- 26:16Speaker 1: Epstein news, considering we're all caught up, that we'd add
- 26:20Speaker 1: a little more meat to the bone about this situation
- 26:22Speaker 1: over at the MCC and take another look at what's
- 26:26Speaker 1: going on over there. Because it's really a big problem.
- 26:31Speaker 1: The whole entire situation when it comes to the Department
- 26:34Speaker 1: of Corrections and these facilities where inmates are being held,
- 26:38Speaker 1: inmates are being shipped, inmates are in transit, it's all
- 26:44Speaker 1: broken at its foundation. And there doesn't seem to be
- 26:50Speaker 1: any interest in really fixing it. And this isn't a
- 26:53Speaker 1: problem to be, you know, put at the feet of
- 26:55Speaker 1: the current administration solely. Right? This is... a problem that
- 27:00Speaker 1: goes back years and years and years and years. So
- 27:03Speaker 1: there's plenty of people to blame here. But there has
- 27:07Speaker 1: to be some sort of, I guess, a come to
- 27:11Speaker 1: Jesus moment almost, where the federal government realizes that it's
- 27:16Speaker 1: time to step up and get these facilities at the
- 27:19Speaker 1: very least in working order. How are we going to
- 27:23Speaker 1: conduct the people's business of timely trials, getting people in
- 27:28Speaker 1: front of judges in a timely manner? If the lockups
- 27:31Speaker 1: are being shut down. Now. I'm all for the lockups
- 27:35Speaker 1: being shut down. If that means people aren't being. Processed
- 27:39Speaker 1: for crimes that are ridiculous. Cool. That's great. The less criminals.
- 27:43Speaker 1: The better off we all are as a society. More rehabilitation. But.
- 27:50Speaker 1: That's not the case. They're going to continue. With their.
- 27:57Speaker 1: Industrial complex. Jail system. where they're just pushing people through.
- 28:02Speaker 1: So they're going to need these facilities, right? We already
- 28:05Speaker 1: have a problem with overcrowding at facilities around the nation,
- 28:10Speaker 1: be it statewide or federal. So now they're closing this
- 28:14Speaker 1: bad boy down. And it really looks like when it
- 28:16Speaker 1: comes down to it, folks, like everything else with these bureaucrats,
- 28:21Speaker 1: like everything else that we've seen in this case and
- 28:24Speaker 1: with the federal government, they don't have a clue what
- 28:27Speaker 1: they're doing. They don't have a plan in place. They
- 28:30Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen with these inmates. They
- 28:33Speaker 1: don't have the logistics figured out. So they'll play it
- 28:36Speaker 1: by ear. You know, they'll wait to see what happens
- 28:39Speaker 1: and then they'll shoot from the hip. Like they always do.
- 28:43Speaker 1: Because you know that works out so well for everybody.
- 28:49Speaker 1: You would think with such a bloated bureaucracy that has
- 28:52Speaker 1: so much money being pumped into it that they'd be
- 28:55Speaker 1: able to figure out basic logistics. That they'd be able
- 28:58Speaker 1: to keep a jail holding place like this in, at
- 29:02Speaker 1: the very least, working order. But no. They can't even
- 29:08Speaker 1: do that. They have a hard time accomplishing that small feat.
- 29:13Speaker 1: So is it any wonder that the MCC is about
- 29:17Speaker 1: to be shut down for either a serious facelift or
- 29:20Speaker 1: closed down altogether? They don't know how to administer these jails, folks.
- 29:27Speaker 1: And the proof is right here in the pudding, as
- 29:29Speaker 1: they say. So let's jump into this article from the
- 29:32Speaker 1: New York Post and let's see what Ben Feuerherd has
- 29:37Speaker 1: uncovered about the MCC. Headline. No clear plan in place
- 29:43Speaker 1: to shutter federal jail where Jeffrey Epstein died. Like I said,
- 29:48Speaker 1: this article was authored by Ben Feuerherd. The Federal Bureau
- 29:55Speaker 1: of Prisons may move some 200 inmates from the troubled
- 29:58Speaker 1: Manhattan lockup where Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, allegedly, to a
- 30:02Speaker 1: Brooklyn jail by early October. But it's unclear if the
- 30:06Speaker 1: agency has established a plan in place for transfers, an
- 30:11Speaker 1: agency lawyer said Friday. Again, why would they even have
- 30:16Speaker 1: any of this going on if they don't have a
- 30:18Speaker 1: plan in place? Isn't that the first thing you do?
- 30:21Speaker 1: You set up your plan, get your logistics worked out,
- 30:24Speaker 1: then you actually, you know, hatch your plot? But no,
- 30:29Speaker 1: they want to do everything backwards, like usual. It's an
- 30:33Speaker 1: absolute joke, folks. It really is. Watching the government fall
- 30:37Speaker 1: all over themselves like a bunch of drunken sailors on
- 30:40Speaker 1: a regular basis, if it wasn't so... to the rest
- 30:45Speaker 1: of our lives, it would be hilarious to witness. But
- 30:48Speaker 1: it's not. These are the people with the keys to
- 30:50Speaker 1: the castle. It's like giving your drunken Uncle Steven the
- 30:55Speaker 1: keys to your sports car and telling him to go
- 30:57Speaker 1: have a nice joyride. It just doesn't end well. The
- 31:03Speaker 1: apparent lack of a transfer plan was revealed in a
- 31:06Speaker 1: Brooklyn federal court hearing one day after the Justice Department announced...
- 31:11Speaker 1: It would shutter the notorious Metropolitan Correctional Center. And this
- 31:15Speaker 1: is what I mean. We just talked about this, right?
- 31:17Speaker 1: We just basically, a couple of episodes ago, talked about
- 31:22Speaker 1: the jailhouse and how it was being shuttered. But again,
- 31:26Speaker 1: like I said in that episode, they don't have any plans.
- 31:29Speaker 1: When was the last time they talked about their plans
- 31:33Speaker 1: for anything like this? They're never transparent with the people.
- 31:37Speaker 1: They just, you know, oh, we have this grand plan
- 31:39Speaker 1: and this is what's going to happen. And they hatch
- 31:42Speaker 1: this plot at the Department of Justice, and they don't
- 31:45Speaker 1: even figure out if it'll work or not logistically. They'll
- 31:49Speaker 1: drop it on someone's lap and say, all right, make
- 31:51Speaker 1: it happen. And it happens in government bureaucracy from the
- 31:56Speaker 1: bottom to the top on a regular basis, minute after minute,
- 32:00Speaker 1: hour after hour. How about we cut some of the
- 32:05Speaker 1: red tape, huh? Can't there just be one person in charge,
- 32:09Speaker 1: a one point man or woman, who is responsible for
- 32:13Speaker 1: what's going on? One person where you look at that
- 32:19Speaker 1: person and say, hey, the buck stops here. So if
- 32:21Speaker 1: something goes south like it did with Epstein, it's not
- 32:24Speaker 1: a hodgepodge of finger pointing and trying to figure out
- 32:28Speaker 1: who's to blame. There's got to be somebody who's in charge.
- 32:32Speaker 1: Somebody has to take responsibility. Now it'd be nice during
- 32:36Speaker 1: these processes with these bureaucracies, but you'll get like a
- 32:39Speaker 1: spokesman to come out and make a statement, but you
- 32:42Speaker 1: can't hold the spokesperson responsible, right? They're just, they're the
- 32:45Speaker 1: spokesperson for whatever bureaucrat is hiding behind their office door.
- 32:52Speaker 1: And we see that magnified to a billion times greater
- 32:56Speaker 1: than your average eyesight when you're talking about the Department
- 33:00Speaker 1: of Corrections and this absolute dumpster fire that we see.
- 33:07Speaker 1: I don't believe there's a written plan, said Seth Eichenholz,
- 33:11Speaker 1: an attorney representing BOP in a civil suit brought against
- 33:15Speaker 1: it by the New York federal defenders. I've heard discussions
- 33:18Speaker 1: of a timeline, but they are tentative, he added, of
- 33:22Speaker 1: the proposed inmate transfers to the Metropolitan Detention Center in
- 33:26Speaker 1: Sunset Park, Brooklyn. So was it a photo op, right?
- 33:32Speaker 1: Was it a virtue signal for the Department of Justice
- 33:35Speaker 1: to make this announcement? shouldn't you probably get the logistics
- 33:39Speaker 1: in order first? I don't mean to keep harping on that,
- 33:41Speaker 1: but it's, it's very basic. Anyone who's ever been involved
- 33:45Speaker 1: in some sort of, uh, you know, blueprint of making
- 33:48Speaker 1: some sort of kind of, some sort of game plan work,
- 33:51Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of logistics that go into it.
- 33:54Speaker 1: And if you don't have the logistics worked out, forget it.
- 33:56Speaker 1: It's going to be a nightmare. So again, this, this
- 34:00Speaker 1: might be a situation where the, uh, The Deputy Attorney
- 34:06Speaker 1: General was just trying to score some points, right? Oh,
- 34:10Speaker 1: we're going to get this fixed. We're closing this down.
- 34:13Speaker 1: And speaking out of the side of her neck, if
- 34:15Speaker 1: you will. Without having anything concrete in writing. Without having
- 34:20Speaker 1: anything locked in. You know, maybe just her reaction to
- 34:25Speaker 1: the squalid conditions. And I could see that. I could
- 34:28Speaker 1: understand that, right? Nobody wants to walk into a facility...
- 34:32Speaker 1: That they're de facto in charge of. And see it
- 34:35Speaker 1: being run like. Some sort of. Disgusting. Prison camp. From
- 34:43Speaker 1: insert war here. Or anything like that right. So you know.
- 34:47Speaker 1: Maybe she reacted emotionally. Or something but. Can't really do
- 34:52Speaker 1: that in that position. You have to have all of
- 34:54Speaker 1: your ducks in a row. Before you're making any comments.
- 34:57Speaker 1: To the public about. oh, we're closing this facility down
- 35:01Speaker 1: and this is going to happen or that's going to happen,
- 35:04Speaker 1: probably should have some sort of inter-department meeting first and,
- 35:08Speaker 1: you know, get everybody aware of what the deal is.
- 35:16Speaker 1: My primary concern is the timeline, said attorney Deirdre von Dornum.
- 35:21Speaker 1: That's only five weeks from now. I think that's a
- 35:23Speaker 1: very short time to accommodate over 200 detainees, she said.
- 35:28Speaker 1: And what will probably happen is the Department of Justice
- 35:31Speaker 1: will just rush it through like they do everything else,
- 35:33Speaker 1: and it'll end up being a shitshow. But what do
- 35:37Speaker 1: they care? They're cushy offices in D.C. They're not the
- 35:41Speaker 1: ones that have to be on the ground and dealing
- 35:43Speaker 1: with it, figuring out the logistics of Manhattan traffic coming
- 35:47Speaker 1: from Brooklyn to get people to go to court, to
- 35:50Speaker 1: go to trial, to see a judge. What do they care?
- 35:55Speaker 1: These bureaucrats are never in the business of making things easier, right?
- 35:59Speaker 1: They're in the business of making people's lives harder so
- 36:01Speaker 1: they can justify their jobs. And it's just so rampant
- 36:06Speaker 1: throughout government, state and local. And it's not just one
- 36:10Speaker 1: party or the other, by the way. Both parties engaging
- 36:13Speaker 1: in it on a regular basis. In a statement Thursday,
- 36:18Speaker 1: a DOJ spokesperson announced the agency plans to shutter the
- 36:21Speaker 1: MCC at least temporarily, in an effort to address issues
- 36:25Speaker 1: at the troubled lockup. Planning for deactivation is underway, and
- 36:30Speaker 1: we will have more updates as that process continues, the
- 36:33Speaker 1: spokesperson said. So again, I'm not exactly against closing down
- 36:39Speaker 1: this facility if it's a dump, right, and people aren't
- 36:42Speaker 1: being treated like humans there. Close it down. But you
- 36:46Speaker 1: have to have a plan in place before you do that.
- 36:50Speaker 1: You have to have a new facility built, right? Aren't
- 36:53Speaker 1: we talking about all sorts of infrastructure money that's about
- 36:55Speaker 1: to come down the pipe? Well, there's a little bit
- 36:58Speaker 1: of an investment for you. Let's build some more facilities,
- 37:00Speaker 1: some new facilities. If you're going to replace this one, right,
- 37:04Speaker 1: or just refurbish it or whatever, well, let's make sure
- 37:08Speaker 1: that it's a livable place where people can go and
- 37:12Speaker 1: wait for their jail sentencing. It's not too much to ask, right?
- 37:17Speaker 1: You got a society with We have so much money,
- 37:19Speaker 1: guys can take flights up to space and look down
- 37:23Speaker 1: at the rest of us for a couple of seconds.
- 37:25Speaker 1: Pretty sure we have the money to make sure that
- 37:27Speaker 1: the foundations aren't breaking at federally owned buildings. And I
- 37:31Speaker 1: don't care if it's a jailhouse, a courthouse, or anything
- 37:34Speaker 1: in between. There's plenty of federal tax dollars to drop
- 37:38Speaker 1: bombs on people in the middle of the desert, but
- 37:41Speaker 1: you don't have any money to wrangle up to fix
- 37:44Speaker 1: buildings and shit here on the home front? Eh, that
- 37:48Speaker 1: doesn't pass the sniff test with me. The MCC has
- 37:54Speaker 1: long been plagued by security and corruption issues, which exploded
- 37:59Speaker 1: in the international press when multimillionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself, allegedly,
- 38:06Speaker 1: in a jail cell there in 2019 while awaiting trial. Yeah,
- 38:10Speaker 1: there's no doubt that shined a big-time spotlight on this situation.
- 38:13Speaker 1: Blew it right up, didn't it? Those guards falling asleep
- 38:17Speaker 1: was a whole new twist. And when you look at
- 38:22Speaker 1: the big picture, all of those coincidences happening all at
- 38:26Speaker 1: the same time, huh? What are the chances of that?
- 38:29Speaker 1: I'm not a statistician, right? I'm not very good at
- 38:31Speaker 1: math even. But I'm sure it's a large, large, large number.
- 38:40Speaker 1: And these two guards, and to be honest with you,
- 38:43Speaker 1: I think that that whole situation with those two guards
- 38:46Speaker 1: was ridiculous from the jump, like I said. Sure, they
- 38:48Speaker 1: should have been penalized. But what about their boss? Or
- 38:51Speaker 1: their boss's boss? Who is the shift manager on duty?
- 38:54Speaker 1: Why wasn't the crime scene, because that's what it is
- 38:57Speaker 1: until we know any different, treated as such? Where were
- 39:01Speaker 1: the body cameras? Where are the pictures? None of it
- 39:04Speaker 1: makes sense. So yeah, the MCC, an absolute shithole. That
- 39:08Speaker 1: probably should be shut down. but you need to have
- 39:12Speaker 1: a plan in place. You can't just shut it down
- 39:15Speaker 1: because it feels good. What are you going to do?
- 39:17Speaker 1: Put an unneeded burden on Brooklyn now? So the inmates
- 39:21Speaker 1: there are even less safe. The quality of life there
- 39:25Speaker 1: is even less than. So the Department of Justice is
- 39:30Speaker 1: going to have to figure this out right and and
- 39:34Speaker 1: have a plan in place earlier this year a federal
- 39:41Speaker 1: judge in the Southern District of New York, ranted from
- 39:44Speaker 1: the bench about conditions at the facility and the federal
- 39:48Speaker 1: jail in Brooklyn, saying they were run by morons. Look,
- 39:51Speaker 1: I cannot disagree with this judge in that sense. These
- 39:56Speaker 1: facilities certainly are run by morons. Now, I'm sure that
- 40:01Speaker 1: there are a ton of very, very, very good guards.
- 40:05Speaker 1: Men and women who go to work every day and
- 40:07Speaker 1: do their best, To make sure that they go home safe,
- 40:11Speaker 1: their colleagues go home safe, and that the inmates are
- 40:14Speaker 1: safe when they're in their charge. I'm sure there are,
- 40:18Speaker 1: the vast majority of prison guards are those people. The
- 40:23Speaker 1: problem is, I don't believe that they get good enough
- 40:25Speaker 1: training and the compensation. Look, you gotta compensate people. Most
- 40:32Speaker 1: of us spend our whole lives trying to avoid going
- 40:34Speaker 1: to jail. These people go there willingly every day to
- 40:38Speaker 1: make sure that these prisoners don't kill each other, that
- 40:42Speaker 1: there's not riots, that, you know, that it's administered in
- 40:46Speaker 1: a proper manner. So if we compensate people a little
- 40:50Speaker 1: more fairly, perhaps, well, maybe more people will be willing
- 40:54Speaker 1: to do the job, more qualified people, people who wouldn't
- 40:57Speaker 1: have thought about it previously. We all know that money talks.
- 41:05Speaker 1: Manhattan federal judge Colleen McMahon lamented that the wardens at
- 41:09Speaker 1: the facilities cycle in and out and employees fail to
- 41:12Speaker 1: address safety concerns. And again, I think a lot of
- 41:15Speaker 1: that has to do with resources, right? That sounds like
- 41:17Speaker 1: a resource problem to me. And there's probably a segment
- 41:21Speaker 1: of the guards who are not good people. Like in
- 41:24Speaker 1: any other segment of society, you probably have certain guards who,
- 41:28Speaker 1: for whatever reason, are not good. quality individuals they don't
- 41:34Speaker 1: care about the inmates or you know they're involved in
- 41:37Speaker 1: smuggling contraband in or whatever it might be there's definitely
- 41:42Speaker 1: a segment of that too but the biggest problem that
- 41:50Speaker 1: I can see is the way these places are administered
- 41:53Speaker 1: like the judge said here you got wardens being sent
- 41:57Speaker 1: all over the place because they can't manage this facility
- 42:00Speaker 1: so you put them in a different facility It's like
- 42:02Speaker 1: the Catholic Church with priests. Here's an idea. If there's
- 42:07Speaker 1: a Catholic Church who has done something to a child, yeah,
- 42:12Speaker 1: probably should throw that person in prison. And if you're
- 42:14Speaker 1: a warden at one of these lockups, and you don't
- 42:18Speaker 1: know your ass from your elbow, well, you should probably
- 42:21Speaker 1: either be fired or demoted to janitor. Because the warden
- 42:27Speaker 1: position is obviously not a place that majority of these
- 42:32Speaker 1: people that they have in these positions should be in.
- 42:37Speaker 1: There is no continuity. There is no leadership. There is
- 42:40Speaker 1: no ability to get anything done. They lurch from crisis
- 42:44Speaker 1: to crisis, from the gun smuggling to Jeffrey Epstein, she
- 42:48Speaker 1: said at the sentencing of a drug defendant. So, look,
- 42:52Speaker 1: you even have judges in New York, federal judges, who
- 42:56Speaker 1: are sitting on the bench, who are sentencing people every
- 43:00Speaker 1: day to gigantic sentences, who comes out and says that
- 43:04Speaker 1: this facility is an absolute shithole and it needs to
- 43:07Speaker 1: be addressed. It needs to be fixed. They're run by morons.
- 43:12Speaker 1: What more do you need? Everybody's telling us that, that
- 43:15Speaker 1: they're run by morons, except for the union that's protecting them.
- 43:20Speaker 1: So I think that there needs to be a huge
- 43:22Speaker 1: shakeup in the leadership of these bureaucracies, especially the Bureau
- 43:26Speaker 1: of Prisons. And we need to entice new people, perhaps,
- 43:31Speaker 1: into taking some of these jobs by offering a better
- 43:34Speaker 1: financial package. This is the federal government, remember. They can
- 43:38Speaker 1: bump up the dough a little bit. They print money
- 43:40Speaker 1: for everything else. Give people a few more bucks an hour.
- 43:45Speaker 1: It's a dangerous job. I certainly don't want to go
- 43:49Speaker 1: work in a jail cell where at any moment somebody
- 43:52Speaker 1: could shank you for some perceived injustice or throw a
- 43:56Speaker 1: bunch of feces and urine in your face and give
- 43:59Speaker 1: you hepatitis or whatever the hell else. These people aren't
- 44:04Speaker 1: robots that work in these jails. I'm talking about the
- 44:07Speaker 1: guards now, not the bureaucrats. They aren't robots. Normal human
- 44:11Speaker 1: beings with emotions and stuff like that. So I think
- 44:15Speaker 1: that some more compensation is probably in order. And if
- 44:20Speaker 1: we want to get these back online... and we want
- 44:24Speaker 1: these institutions... to be able to... foment a bit of trust...
- 44:30Speaker 1: within them... amongst the populace... then they would probably start...
- 44:35Speaker 1: doing the right thing... as far as hiring... very, very...
- 44:40Speaker 1: very qualified people... to run these places. But instead... like
- 44:49Speaker 1: the NFL... They continue to recycle wardens. Oh, this guy
- 44:53Speaker 1: was a warden. This woman was a warden. They were
- 44:56Speaker 1: shitty at this job. Let's put them at another facility.
- 44:59Speaker 1: And like everything else with these people, the wheel continues
- 45:04Speaker 1: to go round and round and round. The question is,
- 45:10Speaker 1: when is somebody going to break it? If you'd like
