  • 189. The French Laundry Connection
    Oct 3 2025

    The French prison system is le' fucked. They have dangerous prisoners going out with the wash, the "fly" getting away on transport and inmates throats getting cut. To solve their many issues, they built Lyon-Corbas-a new shiny facility to house France's worst organized criminals, but four walls do not a prison make. Find out why with Jake on this episode of Hard Time.

    Sep 26 2025

    It's summer 1999 and event's that may have inspired Shaggy's "it wasn't me" have been set in motion. A man is arrested for a crime he says he did not commit; he has an alibi but is convicted of a purse snatching. He spends 17 years in jail before he meets his doppelganger-the purse snatching son of a bitch that sent him to his fate. Can he be exonerated? Will the man who did the evil deed face justice? What is this week's Jake Joke? Find out on Hard Time.

  • 187: Should We Execute Tyler Robinson?
    Sep 19 2025

    The State is pursuing the death penalty for Charlie Kirk's murderer. Is it the right thing to do? The answer may seem obvious but the truth so rarely is. This episode is an absolute sermon on what it means to approach the death penalty legally, spiritually and practically-- but you won't get a lecture. More important is having the debate, which is what Charlie Kirk would want us to do. Let me know what you think in the comments.
