California has the largest prison system in the United States.
The United States has the largest prison system in the world.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
You have all the different gangs, and you have all
the different factions in each gang. It is so abnormal
for a human being to put under those conditions.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
In some cases capital murder cases, just preventing a death
sentence and getting life without parole was a win, and
that was a win that I struggled to wrap my
head around.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
A lot of people in society believed that we need
to throw away the key on the men and women
that go to prison. I may have been innocent, but
there are a lot of guilty people in prison that
are not the worst of the crime that they committed.
These people can be redeemed.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Our sentences have gotten so long that when we hear
somebody say, oh, we got five years, that's not bad,
think about how much happens in five years. We've lost
track of how long that is.
Speaker 6 (00:54):
I mean, when they came and said that they were
charging me like that was so shocking to me because
I had been tragged to deceive him everything from the
day I met him till the day I lost him.
He's keeping him alive.
Speaker 7 (01:07):
People just want justice so bad that they're willing to
accept everything at face value when they need to really
look deeper and really stand up when they hear about
an injustice that's happening.
Speaker 8 (01:17):
When you're manipulated by a power and a justice system
that is supposed to be the last of the line,
is supposed to be the true sense of justice, the
true sense of what's going on, at least as closest
we can get it.
Speaker 9 (01:29):
I can forgive anybody that has been manipulated. I can't
forgive those that did the manipulating. And I always say
there's two naive positions. One naive position is that everyone
in prison is innocent. The other naive position is everyone
in prison is guilty. We're trying to figure out where
does that line end.
Speaker 10 (01:47):
Last season on Sworn, we looked at some of the
crimes in cases that caught America's attention and highlighted serious
issues in our justice system. This season, we've got a
new approach. We're tackling the real problems in legal system directly.
We're looking at things like faulty forensic science, false confessions,
and mandatory minimum prison sentences. Here are the stories of
(02:09):
innocent people who ended up behind bars and hear from
people who are fighting to fix these issues. Join us
this season on Sworn

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
