Episode Synopsis

In this episode, the topic of discussion is the disparity in prison sentences for convicted individuals. Cynthia Metsker was sentenced to 12 years for the manslaughter of 42-year-old Colin Bastow. She entered a guilty plea to first-degree manslaughter and unlawful possession of a firearm. While her sentence appears just for the crime committed, her incarceration at the Washington Corrections Center for Women raises concerns. The facility is reportedly ill-equipped to offer adequate medical care and rehabilitation resources to its inmates, potentially doing more harm than benefit.
