Episode 26: Danny Pt. 1

Christina speaks with Danny, who is currently incarcerated in Waupun Correctional Institution in Wisconsin*.  He's engaged to Katie, a British woman, who was featured in Episode 23 and shares his experience and perspective from the inside about his life, his love, and his plans for the future.

Danny speaks on the flawed system designed to keep people down -  starting with being a child in foster care, trying his best to fit in, to making choices at a young age that altered his future. In a rare perspective from someone on the inside, Danny takes Christina on a journey through his life and what led him to his most recent sentence.


*Waupun Correctional Institution is currently in a state of lockdown and has been for months. There hasn't been a lot of information released to the public as to why the lockdown has gone on for so long, but there have been dozens of reports from inmates regarding the inhumane conditions they've been dealing with since this happened.  I'll continue to update on this as I get more information.
