Wise's World: Navigating Healthcare Injustice within the American Prison System

Lockdown 2 Legacy

Picture this. You're in the prime of your life, yet you find yourself locked behind bars, battling a serious health condition with a system that seems designed to fail you. This was the harsh reality for my friend Wise, a formidable spirit who not only survived a heart attack in prison but also bore witness to the systemic healthcare inadequacies within the American penitentiary system. Join us on a journey through Wise's experiences, as we expose the glaring gaps in prison healthcare and the tragic consequences it can have.
Are you ready to challenge your preconceptions about prison healthcare? Listen in as Wise shares his gritty experiences, from the heart attack he suffered at the tender age of 50, to the deteriorating health of his friend Ro, who tragically succumbed to cancer due to delayed medical intervention. We also discuss the critical importance of maintaining mental, physical, and spiritual health, drawing parallels with maintaining a car - regular check-ups and a balanced diet are essential. This episode is a call to action, a plea for change in the American criminal justice system. Consider this an invitation to join the conversation and help us make a difference.
