Fort Leavenworth, Kansas — the oldest military prison in the United States, and the only one authorized to carry out executions.
In this episode of Deadly Truths: Season Two — Death in the Big House, host Becca takes you inside the walls of the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks to uncover the stories of the men currently on military death row — soldiers once sworn to serve, now condemned for murder, rape, and wartime atrocities.

From paratrooper Ronald Gray, to Hasan Akbar, Timothy Hennis, and Nidal Hasan, these cases reveal what happens when discipline collapses, and the military justice system turns inward on its own.

This is the hidden world of military death row — where honor, duty, and death meet in silence.
