Summary

In this episode, Woody Overton and Jim Chapman examine the legal battle unfolding at Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, where inmates are challenging the brutal working conditions in the fields. The lawsuit alleges many issues in the prison including the lack of breaks, absence of clean water, inadequate equipment, and extreme heat that endanger the prisoners' well-being. Plaintiffs like Myron Smith, Demarius Jackson, Nate Walker, and Darius Williams share the unjust treatment and unsafe practices they endure, invoking constitutional amendments prohibiting cruel punishment and involuntary servitude. We cover the lawsuit, the result and the aftermath in this episode.Timestamps05:53 Lawsuit Filed Against Angola State Penitentiary12:56 Overview of the Voice of the Experienced (VOTE)16:41 Plaintiffs Introduction: Myron Smith, Demarius Jackson, Nate Walker, Darius Williams30:37 Psychological Risks and Administration of the Farm Line35:33 Individual Allegations: Myron Smith39:48 Individual Allegations: Darius Williams42:48 Individual Allegations: Nate Walker43:00 Individual Allegations: Demarius JacksonGo to HelloFresh.com/BloodyAngolaapps for FREE APPETIZERS for life for Bloody Angola Listeners!
