Sad, but people need to take responsibility for their actions

“It is truly sad that that Josh passed away. Society is certainly struggling with mental health, addiction, and other social woes. I feel sorry for the friends and family who have to suffer.
With respect to the podcast, I was very disappointed that the ultimate storyline was to blame the parole system basically for the death of this man which is just absurd. Josh was 39 years old, an adult. Yes he had issues but the parole board did not force him to drink and get kicked out his free housing. They didn’t force him to act inappropriately and get kicked out of his friends house. They didn’t force him not to call Chis’ friends’ construction company and get a good paying job with benefits. He needed to take responsibility and he didn’t. The only thing the parole board did wrong was to not send him immediately back to jail after his first mishap. I’m glad he didn’t take someone else’s life with his irresponsible actions.
What also frustrates me is that the podcast blames the parole board but makes no suggestions on how fix it. What could have been done different?
The problem in the society that we live in is that it’s always someone else’s fault. People don’t want to own their own lives. They would rather screw up constantly and just blame it on the police, blame it on their parents, blame it on their teachers or their government. NHPR, please do a podcast on a former inmate who got out on parole and actually took responsibility for their actions and made a new, successful life for themselves. If you think this podcast was inspiring, it was not.”

“Emily is a fantastic reporter, and the show is well produced. The only issue I had is that I’m not sure that we get enough of Josh (for reasons that later become clear) to really develop a lot of empathy or investment in him as a person. I rooted for him in the way that I root for anyone who is...”Read full review »

“Josh is a loser, and the last thing we need is a podcast that makes it seem like he was treated too harshly. His entire letter was all about him, and how he shouldn’t have to go to jail. What about Liz, or better yet her unborn child. Everyone who enabled him has a hand in both his punishment and...”Read full review »
