Welcome to the global phenomenon, surviving the survivor, where we bring you the best guests in all of true crime.

Here's your host, Emmy Award winning journalist Joel Waldman.

Donna Sue Edelson, 75 years old.

She's about to stand trial in a week or so for the murder of her ex-son-in-law and a murder for a higher plot.

Of course, that person is Dan Markell, all about justice for Dan Markell.

And she, Donna Adelson, is facing prison for the rest of her life without the possibility of parole if convicted.

So the question today is, Donna Adelson actually survive long, long term behind bars and even thrive potentially?

What's up, St.S Nation?

Welcome to Survive and Survivor.

This is the show that brings you the very best guests in all of true crime.

And this afternoon, we are diving deep into what life would really look like for Donna Adelson,

if convicted transitioning, as I said, from jail to a Florida State prison,

if that conviction is deemed to be a guilty conviction by a jury of her peers.

And we're also going to talk a little bit about jailhouse informants because that's one of the

emotions that Donna's defense attorneys have filed to suppress some potential information

from jailhouse informants.

Welcome to the show.

We've got two new best guests.

First up, Dr. J, otherwise known fully and professionally as Dr. John Lurie.

He is a 20-year veteran of Connecticut Corrections and chair of the Criminal Justice School at Alberta Magnus College in Connecticut.

And you know this space. She's been on before with the wild Larry Levine. This is Jackie Purcell. She is the founder of evolution reentry services. She says, I always say evolutionary, which I probably do.

She is formerly incarcerated. She is now a private investigator. She's going to give Monica Jordan a run for her money, I guess.
