I used to post this on 261, but here we are!

After five months of hiatus, we're back with a concept that is mocked horribly in the media, and still woefully inadequate.

I am SO god damn happy this is back. I don't ever watch the full show but every Monday the highlight of my day is getting off work and sitting on my couch with my state legal/federally illegal substance of choice and watching a 15-25 minute video on Youtube by a snarky British dude.

Seriously, I look forward to it every Monday and it's been a while since we had one.

It's a good show! I certainly prefer it to the "standard" late-night format and I often learn something!

Prison health care is shared with immigration detention centers. Immigrants are being to sent to for profit jails which share in buying cheap health providers. People are dying at both places because underfunded and the callousness the population has towards prisoners. Punishment is more important over recovery or rehabilitation. Most prisoners in the US are a human rights violation.

"Substance abuse" should be the easiest fucking thing to "treat" in prison. Cold turkey, done.

That story about the dude who died from a heart attack is especially disgusting, b/c he was only in jail in the first place for a "child support violation", which shouldn't even fucking happen. Literally the only form of Debtor's Prison still oddly tolerated in America. The family court system murdered that man.

Patch a wound w/ sugar? WTF!

It's funny that Arizona and other red states already proved that "private industry does it cheaper" is bull shit when it comes to healthcare

Very much depends on the substance, but if it's an addiction, most have healthcare treatment that can be done.

Cold turkey is how they die. Withdrawal deaths are common and prisons refuse to track them.
