| 0:00.0 | I don't even call it a dust system anymore. I call it the carceral system because it's really |
| 0:04.2 | just a mechanism to lock people up. It makes billions of dollars for people. Our carceral system |
| 0:09.2 | makes people rich and it destroys families and communities and generations of people in this country. |
| 0:15.5 | And so maybe because I am a person of faith, I don't believe in justice in this world ultimately. |
| 0:21.1 | Sometimes it happens. It can be very satisfying at the end of the day. When we leave this world, |
| 0:26.1 | we will be entering another world and there will be divine justice there. I don't know if I |
| 0:30.4 | could believe anything else. The world would feel so unfair. Life would feel so unfair, but it |
| 0:34.6 | will allow myself to say what goes around will eventually come around. This is who helped you. |

| 1:15.9 | more than 80 million downloads and it was on everyone's lips. Did Adnan do it? Is he guilty? |
| 1:24.3 | When the world was slowly beginning to forget about Adnan, Rabia Childry started the podcast |
| 1:30.0 | undisclosed, covering the Adnan case. Because Rabia Childry is not just an attorney, |
| 1:36.4 | she's an attorney and an advocate who works with people who are wrongfully convicted |
| 1:41.9 | and she grew up with Adnan and knows him well, and she knows that there is no way he did it. |
| 1:48.1 | Since then, undisclosed has featured many more wrongfully convicted people than Adnan, |
| 1:53.4 | who is now in his forties and is still in prison, and Rabia has helped many, many people. |
| 2:00.5 | I was really, really excited that she wanted to talk to me. I'm sure you'll enjoy her as much as I |
| 2:06.0 | did. You are meeting me in the, I guess, the beginning of summer outside of the D.C. |
