Ruth investigates alarming reports coming out of Florida jails and prisons. According to a report by the NAACP, in one Florida jail alone, 21 inmates have died under suspicious circumstances with little accountability. From prisoners succumbing to treatable medical issues to beatings at the hands of guards, a disturbing pattern emerges - incarcerated individuals are too often left to suffer and die with minimal oversight.
The lack of transparency around inmate fatalities ties into broader systems shielding police and corrections officers from consequences. Qualified immunity, police protections, and the dismantling of civilian review boards allow law enforcement violence and negligence to persist unchecked.
As democracy erodes in Florida, it's the most vulnerable populations who bear the deadly costs. Join Ruth as she takes on the prison industrial complex and powerful forces undermining accountability. In this episode, she issues an urgent call to stand up against injustice and value human life.
