Murders, Corruption and Transgender Prisoners. Oh my!
Perry Cerf & Demetrius Minor are just two of your run-of-the-mill violent offenders. But that's not all they have in common. They're also transgender inmates who were transferred to Edna Mahan, an all-women's correctional facility since the laws on transgender inmates changed in 2021. This, however, just added to the chaos and corruption already plaguing this ill-fated and dilapidated prison where 30+ DOC officers were detained in connection with coordinated and brutal inmate attacks. So much to unpack in this episode!Sources:https://www.cartercenter.org/news/documents/doc2357.htmlhttps://www.northjersey.com/story/news...

Blake Leibel Needs a Reality Check
Graphic novelists. Am I right? Look we get it better than most: the fascination with true crime. But there's just a line you do not cross. Ya know... the line where you actually dream up, illustrate and then COMMIT the crime. Blake Leibel, author of the very graphic novel, Syndrome, never got the memo though. Not cool, dude. Not cool. For reals though, this guy is next-level evil. He brutally tortures and murders his girlfriend while taking door dash meal breaks. There's a special place for him in you know where.
