"The true power of any empire lies within its people; not the palace walls. The emperor serves at the pleasure of the people, and the voice of the people must be heard"- Wallace Allen

  • Empire Talks Back | Justice, Power & the 13th Amendment
    Jan 7 2026
    In this episode of Empire Talks Back, originally aired on August 10, 2025, host Wallace Allen offers his perspective on a controversial political decision involving the Trump administration—specifically a deal that resulted in a minimum-security facility replacing a maximum-security prison as housing for a convicted child sex abuser. Wallace examines what this decision signals about power, privilege, and accountability within the criminal justice system.

    The discussion expands with guest James Every, who brings historical and legal context to the conversation through an examination of the 13th Amendment, its language, and its continued implications for incarceration, punishment, and systemic inequity in the United States.

    Also contributing to the dialogue is James Hatton of The James Cane Experience, adding further perspective on media, justice, and public accountability.

    This episode of Empire Talks Back challenges listeners to think critically about how laws, policies, and political influence intersect—and who ultimately benefits from those intersections.
