On this episode, Norman sits down with retired Attica correction officer and union leader Rick Harcrow for a blunt conversation about the growing crisis inside New York’s correctional system. They discuss the strike by correction officers, the firing of thousands of officers, the use of the National Guard inside prisons, dangerous staffing shortages, forced overtime, inmate violence, and what they say is a complete failure of leadership from Governor Kathy Hochul’s administration. From Attica to Rikers, this episode takes a hard look at officer safety, prison conditions, broken policy, and what is at stake for correction officers, inmates, families, and voters ahead of the gubernatorial election.
