In this searing episode of Resilience2Redemption, host Madeline-Michelle : Carthen interview Reginald Clemons, a man whose name has become synonymous with both judicial betrayal and unwavering endurance. Wrongfully convicted, brutally dehumanized, and sentenced to die—Clemons didn’t just survive America’s death row, he rose from it with a message too urgent to be ignored: slavery in America didn’t end—it just evolved into the courtroom and the prison cell.

This episode will make you uncomfortable. It will challenge your beliefs. And it will awaken you to the uncomfortable truth: Mass incarceration is modern-day slavery, legally sanctioned and publicly funded.

In this gripping episode of Resilience2Redemption, we expose the troubling story of John Boyd, a man currently held in solitary confinement at Potosi Correctional Center—despite having no documented violations, no hearing, and no due process.

John's placement in "the hole" appears to be nothing more than a retaliatory act by prison officials seeking to silence his voice and isolate his truth. Through this deeply personal interview, John shares what really happened the day he was removed from general population, how isolation has affected his mind and spirit, and the systemic abuse he's witnessed behind the walls.

Despite the injustice he’s facing, John remains anchored in faith, leaning on the promises of Psalm 37, which declares, “He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.”

If you believe in truth, transparency, and human dignity—this is a story you cannot ignore.

In this gripping episode, Mark A. Jones speaks raw truth from inside South Central Correctional Center (SCCC) — a place where compassion is absent, rehabilitation is a myth, and oversight is non-existent. With a heart for justice and a voice forged through adversity, Mark exposes how incarcerated men are left to rot in a system that profits from punishment but offers no path to healing.

He challenges the very foundation of the prison industrial complex — calling out the cold policies, unchecked abuse, and lack of mental health or spiritual support. Mark doesn’t just describe a broken system — he demands a better one. One rooted in accountability. One that restores, not destroys. And one where rehabilitation is a right, not a privilege.
