Hell on earth. A torture chamber. A death trap. Just a few names that incarcerated Americans and their supporters are calling the state of Wisconsin Department of Corrections, Waupun Correctional Institution. There have been four deaths in one year, countless lawsuits, gross negligence, vicious guard brutality, systemic oppression, overwhelming petty rules, and the exhausted existence of our people across the country. But, at Waupun Correctional Institution, the level of inhumanity and cruelty surpasses belief.

In this nation of grand wealth and infinite resources, we have an evil wickedness resting in the dark recesses of our prisons. DOC is the largest slaveholder in human history. Stealing the wages of millions of Americans is an out-of-control kleptocracy. How can goodness, love for fellow man, and successful reentry ever occur in a hate-filled environment as has been created in DOC? It cannot. That is why recidivism is at 83.4 percent nationally, and recidivism is a meager 20 percent in Norway and Finland where sentences are low and educational and career opportunities are prolific. Waupun is just one more example of systemic cruelties stemming from a slave system.

Interviewing Tresa Hewlett and her incarcerated son Damien Hewlett, we delve into the truth about what is actually happening inside those walls. Waupun is the latest prison where abuse has finally spilled out into the public sector. Of course, for every one prison that gets exposed for its atrocities, there are twenty that go unheard of or unaddressed. It is time to put an end to the Department of Corrections experiment. Defunding it, and turning all prisons into treatment and career centers.

Remember, we need your help! On July 4th, we are launching the most anticipated, world’s first social justice reality show crowdfunding for “Love and Prison Activism”. Everyone who donates will have the opportunity to appear at demonstrations or audition to be on the show. We are accepting pre-commitment donations at this time. Subscribe for updates.

The country lit up with millions of Americans protesting systemic abuses highlighted by the martyr George Floyd. It was the largest social justice mass demonstration in human history. Politicians and mass media took notice. For days afterwards they waxed and waned about reforming the system. Then within days they were back to demonizing troubled Americans that made bad decisions labeled crime (i.e. minorities, the impoverished, and the mentally ill). They promptly returned to perpetuating the status quo. As of date, no meaningful systemic change has occurred anywhere in the United States criminal justice system. Police STILL overpoliced disadvantaged communities and subjects the communities to blatant abuse and murder. Prosecutors STILL persecuted disadvantaged citizens while failing to hold criminal cops accountable. Courts STILL railroaded masses of our people into cruelly long sentences while finding criminal cops not guilty for murders like Emmanuel Ellis. Mass incarceration STILL enslaved our troubled Americans, stealing their labor wages, and depriving them of meaningful treatment or educational opportunities. From the Police on the beat, the Prosecutors and the Judges in the Courtroom, the Prison Administrator profiteers, and the complicit Politicians that govern our people by fear and control, it is a corrupted system that needs reform. Politicians and mass media received the message when the demonstrations were occurring. But they did not truly GET it. Now we have to make it MORE clearer. That is what the world's 1st social justice reality show "LOVE and PRISON ACTIVISM" seeks to do. We plan on filming the inherent injustices and inequities that mass incarceration breeds. Showcasing patriotic supporters and loved ones of troubled Americans that demonstrate and protest against the Carceral State. Demanding fundamental change: (1) ending prisoner slavery, (2) turning all prisons into treatment and career centers, (3) ending the drug war, (4) adopting extreme socialization reentry programs into all prisons, (5) returning the vote to felons and prisoners Nationwide, and (5) reducing all sentences for non-homicide offenses down to a maximum of eight to ten years. Those overdue reforms will decarcerate our Nation and take the incentive (i.e. free prisoner labor) away from the Carceral State. Which will decrease police, prosecutor, and judge budgets significantly over time. The Government should not be in the business of enslaving and exploiting our People. It should solely be in the business of saving, helping, and restoring our People. To achieve this monumental aim we will need your help. We need everyone in the Country to join. It is a true David versus Goliath undertaking. We are currently opening up pre-commitments for donators zealous to be in the front line in the social justice battle. The reality show Stars will be picked from those that donated. Furthermore all those that donate will have the opportunity to be filmed in the reality show during protests and demonstrations. Additionally there are gifts and other prizes which donators will receive so pre-committing a fixed amount assures your reward.

Welcome to the DefundDOC Podcast, where we delve into the critical issues surrounding voting rights and criminal justice reform. Join Linda and Daniel, as we explore the history and current state of felon disenfranchisement in America, inspired by legal texts, historical documents, and contemporary analyses.

In our discussions, we question the "obvious" exclusion of certain groups, such as women, people with mental disabilities, and former slaves, from the right to vote. We examine the discriminatory practices that have disenfranchised felons and prisoners, perpetuating inequality and prejudice.

We uncover the origins of felon disenfranchisement as a tool to prevent African-Americans from voting, and the need for legislative action to address the racial discrimination inherent in this practice. We challenge the notion that past mistakes define a person's character or virtue, advocating for the restoration of voting rights as a means to break down injustice in the criminal justice system.

By highlighting the importance of voting rights, we expose the inequities and over-sentencing within the system, and the need for felons and prisoners to have a voice in shaping policies that affect them. We argue that the denial of voting rights violates the equal protection clause of the Constitution and perpetuates a corrupt and discriminatory system.

Join us as we uncover the injustices of the past and present, and explore the ways in which restoring the right to vote for felons and prisoners can lead to meaningful criminal justice reform. Subscribe to our podcast and blog at www.DefundDOC.net to stay informed and receive a free digital copy of one of Linda's books.

Additionally, we invite you to be part of a groundbreaking reality show, "LOVE AND PRISON ACTIVISM," which aims to humanize prisoners and their loved ones while driving prison reform. Audition for the show and join us on July 4th, as we launch this revolutionary movement for change.
