ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We spend the hour talking about Florida’s Department of Corrections, beginning with Ricky Dixon, who recently retired as secretary after a 30-year prison career. He talks about the fight to get better pay for corrections officers and other hurdles facing the system.
Also, two women who were incarcerated reflect on their experiences and what they believe needs to change inside the walls. And, a UCF project is helping inmates get a college education.
