Hard Time: A Look At The Law Inside The Walls
In this true crime episode, Jon—a former corrections officer—dives into the horrifying case of Josef Fritzl, the Austrian monster who imprisoned his own daughter for 24 years beneath his family home. Joined by a special guest who jokes she’s lived her whole life like a prisoner—and who happens to be a direct descendant of a criminal—they unpack captivity, control, and why history keeps producing people who think “secret basement prison” is a lifestyle choice.
Hard Time: A Look At The Law Inside The Walls
A Virginia correctional officer saw it coming — threats, warnings, even a weapon with his name on it. He went to work anyway. Months later, he was dead. Now his widow is asking the questions the Department of Corrections won’t answer — and exposing what officers already know: the danger isn’t hypothetical, it’s daily. In this episode, we break down the killing of Officer Jeremy Hall, the ignored warnings, and the silence that followed. Because when an officer dies, administrators hold a press conference, issue a statement, and move on — while the same policies stay in place. Understaffed. Underpaid. Outnumbered. Officers are told to keep quiet, keep working, and keep risking their lives — because speaking up means retaliation, unemployment, and becoming the next problem the system needs to manage. The inmates aren’t the only ones trapped inside the prison system.

Jake breaks down the heinous crimes, how the fuck this happened, and what the current result is. It doesn't end up as bad as you'd think, but unfortunately, he's still walking around. Oh and there are some Jake Jokes. I need a few drinks after this one. As a warning I get a little heated. Enjoy!
