Hey guys, welcome back to my podcast! Today, I have a special guest, Thomas FreeMe, and we're gonna be talking about some heavy stuff. We're gonna be discussing the criminal justice system and how it affects people's lives. We talk about how the system is set up to keep people in rather than rehabilitate them. We also talk about how the system targets certain communities and how that contributes to mass incarceration.
We delve deeper into the topic of how perceptions and societal stereotypes affect how people are treated in the criminal justice system. Thomas shares his own personal story of how he was caught up in the hip hop craze as a teenager and how that led to him being accepted into a certain community, but ultimately being viewed as a mockery.
We discuss the lack of investigating that happens within the system and how it just helps to build bigger cases and put people away for longer periods of time. We also touch on the topic of conspiracy and how it's used to put people away for things they may not have even done. Finally, we talk about the mentalities that people adopt while in the system and how it's often a survival tactic. We also briefly mention Thomas's organization, the Coming Home Coalition, which aims to help men transition back into society after being released from prison.
Overall, it was a heavy but important conversation that I think everyone should hear. Thanks for tuning in!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
