Supportive relationships play a crucial role in shaping our confidence and self-worth, enabling us to achieve success. One often overlooked aspect is the impact that connecting with incarcerated individuals can have on both parties involved. Engaging in conversations with those who are incarcerated can create a significant positive change, not only for them but also for ourselves.

How to Fight the DOC

AQS Inmate Call ·

2025/03/01

I have discovered some areas in which the state government is weak. Its citizens can keep the DOC (Department of Corrections) accountable. The incarcerated population, along with their supportive relationships, social media, and the news media, should fight for the rights of both their loved ones and people in prison whenever the DOC rejects the rule of law and does not follow their own policy.

AQS Inmate Call ·

2025/02/22

In this episode, I examine the Department of Corrections' efforts regarding the introduction of contraband into DOC facilities. Contraband can be brought in by visitors, staff, contractors, and inmates. Despite the DOC's claims of attempting to eliminate contraband, the issue persists, posing risks to both incarcerated individuals and the public. The department must collaborate with the community to address this epidemic and create a safer environment for inmates.

Safety & Security Under DOC

AQS Inmate Call ·

2025/02/15

In this episode, I examine the lack of support inmates receive under the care of Department of Corrections personnel. Despite their claims, the DOC does not appear to prioritize the safety and security of inmates. Placing biological males and females in the same cell, poisoning inmates, and placing a convicted rapist in the same cell as a family member of one of his victims is reckless. DOC management needs to monitor the actions of facility officials more closely.

DOC Myth vs Fact

AQS Inmate Call ·

2025/02/08

In this episode, I explore the misconceptions surrounding the Department of Corrections (DOC). The public's expectations of the DOC often differ from its actual performance. All DOC facilities should prioritize the well-being of incarcerated individuals, victims, families, communities, and government officials. Debunking these myths is essential to deflect and reduce crime, thereby creating a safer community.

In this episode, I discuss how to prepare for prison.

WADOC Privileges

AQS Inmate Call ·

2025/01/25

In this episode, I explore the privileges granted to the Washington Department of Corrections that are not extended to other agencies. The WADOC often abuses its authority, causing harm to incarcerated individuals and their families.

2025/01/18

In this episode, I examine the state of mental health within the facilities under the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections.

Broken Trust: DOC Policy Failures

AQS Inmate Call ·

2025/01/11

In this episode, I explore the numerous instances where the Department of Corrections disregards policy and law, mistreating those entrusted to its care. A correctional center should strive to improve the lives of incarcerated individuals and reduce recidivism. If the penal system cannot adhere to policy and procedure, and provide the necessary resources for improvement, then the justice system should not trust it with the care of convicted individuals.

The Lesson of Bonnie and Clyde

AQS Inmate Call ·

2025/01/04

Law enforcement, the penal system, and the justice system should train personnel on the value of romantic relationships among incarcerated individuals. People in meaningful relationships can influence each other in ways that government agencies cannot. In the case of Bonnie and Clyde, Clyde Barrow's experiences with law enforcement and incarceration contributed to his crime spree as well as his negative impact on Bonnie Parker.

Forgiving the DOC

AQS Inmate Call ·

In this episode I discuss the Washington Department of Correction's lack of responsibility and their efforts to hide the truth for self-preservation.

In this episode, I discuss my experiences with lodging complaints against the Washington Department of Corrections.

In this episode, I explore how straightforward approaches can be adopted in prisons to help individuals foster a sense of worth rather than feeling like a burden to society.

Incarcerating Youth

AQS Inmate Call ·

2024/10/26

In this episode, I examine a solution to the overcrowded youth detention centers in Washington. The state operates under a determinate sentencing scheme, where each crime carries a fixed jail or prison sentence that cannot be altered by a judge, parole board, or any other agency. Legislators should collaborate to reform the system, allowing juveniles to be sentenced on a case-by-case basis.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/joel-wilborn/support
