Motive Season 4, Episode 4 - No Justice In Politics*
Anthony Gay was sentenced to seven years of prison, but ended up with 97 years added to his sentence. Gay lived with mental illness and after time in solitary, he began to act out. He was repeatedly charged with battery — often for throwing liquids, like urine, at staff.
Gay says the prison put him in traumatizing circumstances that made his mental illness worse, then punished him for the way he acted.
Gay appealed to the local state’s attorney. This episode explores how his case shaped both the prison and the town around it.
