A must listen
I’d like to preface my review by saying that I write this from the perspective of a mental health therapist, a true crime aficionado, and, most importantly, as a human being. I’d also like to say that after listening to dozens of long form podcasts, this is the ONLY one that has moved me so profoundly as to write a review (when you write case notes all day every day, you get a little sick of writing). This podcast was BEAUTIFUL. It explored the complexities of the human experience in a way that honored every participant. It explored the suffering that these men endured while imprisoned while also portraying one of the significant contributors to their suffering as a fallible human being and not a heartless monster. As a therapist, I want to look at people based on their potential and not just based on who they are or who they’ve been. I feel that this podcast really allowed me to do that. This podcast beautifully illustrated how important it is to remember that where human lives are concerned, if any person is “winning”, we’re all losing. I am so incredibly moved and I just want to say thank you to every one involved in the production.

Always looking for something to accompany long drive to work. Great story. Didn’t know where it was going. Kinda stunned by the ending. If you’re looking for a new binge listen, you found it.

Finished binge listening. The story was quite good. It’s so sad to hear that law enforcement does so much shady work — knowingly. Also, since most of the public is law-abiding and trusting of the uniform/badge, why take advantage of the innocent?
