Bart would assume his son's identity in an attempt to get to the bottom of a seemingly impossible, year-long struggle to obtain his son’s...

A jailhouse phone call. An interesting phenomena in its own right. The prison industrial complex in the USA generates an estimated 1.3 billions per year. In March of 2020, when the Dane County Jail stopped all in-person visitations due to the rapid spread of the Covid-19 virus they implemented a policy in which every inmate was allotted two 15-minute phone calls per day. No matter if it's free or charged, if you happen to be on either end of a jailhouse phone call you should be aware this...

The layout wasn’t much different than your normal hotel...
