CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT-- PAUL SMITH

9/2/2025
See all formats and editions In this haunting memoir, a clinical psychologist sentenced to 51 months for healthcare fraud confronts the harsh realities of federal prison. Incarcerated amid the chaos of the COVID pandemic, he endured a relentless odyssey through eight different prison facilities, caught in a near-perpetual cycle of transfer. Through his expert lens, Cruel and Unusual Punishment: A Memoir of the Psychological Realities of Federal Prison unveils the stark truth of an uncivilized, harsh, and insane system that erodes the very essence of humanity. The author reveals a grim truth: extended exposure to the cruel environment of prison—crafted by government policy and the ruthless prisoner code—strips away humanity, pushing individuals toward savagery. Drawing from his own struggle to preserve his sense of self and the hard-earned wisdom of those who survived years of confinement, he offers a raw, introspective exploration of survival under psychological siege. Countless prison memoirs exist, but many are marred by exaggeration, falsehoods, or a lack of objective clarity. Few offer the raw, unfiltered honesty found in this account. This powerful narrative is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the harsh realities of prison.

Surviving a Psychopath- KERRIE DROBAN IS OUR GUEST

8/6/2025
Kerrie Droban has been a popular guest on the show since 2015. Once again, she gives us a great conversation. Her latest book : Surviving a Psychopath: In Court. In Life. In "Love." Most of us are both horrified and fascinated by the dark psychology of serial killers and predators who dominate headlines and true crime documentaries. But what if the psychopath wasn't on the news? What if they were your spouse, boss, child, parent, date? In Surviving a Psychopath, Kerrie Droban, veteran attorney, award-winning true crime author and expert consultant on criminal pathology, takes readers beyond the sensational cases and into the hidden world of relational psychopathy. Droban reveals how they charm their way into our lives --appearing disarmingly normal, until it's too late. With chilling clarity and raw vulnerability, Droban exposes the red flags, psychological manipulation, and emotional terrorism inflicted by predators who live among us and cannibalize our lives. They're not insane. They're insanely evil, terrifying calculated, utterly remorseless and masters of disguise. Surviving a Psychopath is a powerful resource for anyone who's questioned their reality, blamed themselves for another's cruelty, or wondered how to break free from the grip of a predator. Through real-life insights from both sides of the justice system, Droban arms readers with the knowledge and courage to recognize the manipulation before it's too late--and reclaim their lives after devastation.

DEADLY VOWS -- PSYCHOPATH PREACHER !! HOLY HELL!

6/14/2025
Sean Goff was a dynamic Pentecostal minister who was already running his own church by the age of twenty-two. He had wed a pliable teenager and bent her to his will, eventually convincing her to agree to his secretly taking a second wife named Joy. Although at first the clandestine arrangement worked well, problems soon began to surface. Leif Wright, Sean’s friend and co-worker, confronted Sean about his hidden polygamous lifestyle, which threatened to scandalize their employer, a world-famous televangelist. Sean’s foray into polygamy led to his association with an online community where he earned respect by dispensing advice to other evangelical polygamists. He derided divorce as the sign of a weak man who didn’t know how to lead his women. It was especially troublesome to Sean when Joy hinted that she wasn’t happy and wanted to have a meaningful career. Then Joy suddenly disappeared, although friends continued to receive her e-mails. The messages seemed strange, and some wondered whether she was really traveling around Europe. Leif Wright takes his readers into the mind of a ruthless, controlling killer in this straight-from-the-headlines true crime saga, leaving us all to question just how well any of us really knows our neighbors, friends and spouses.

THE MAN WITH THE COURAGE TO FIGHT THE KLAN

5/15/2025
https://www.amazon.com/Against-Tide-H-Bedford-Jones-ebook/dp/B0DZHSFHD Against the Tide is a true story that captures the fear and hardships faced by African Americans during a disturbing time in American history the post-Reconstruction period that led to the introduction of Jim Crow laws. Through hard work and determination, Hansford C. Bayton would rise from humble beginnings to become the captain and owner of five excursion and mail delivery steamboats that plied the Rappahannock River during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Unusually for an African American, he would acquire wealth and the respect of both blacks and whites. Nevertheless, his boats were burned one by one. But with each malicious burning, and with lynching on the rise, he would build again. This book illuminates a time in American history when the surge of progress made by freedmen was sharply curtailed through the enactment of segregation laws and the activities of the Ku Klux Klan. As a result Hansford C. Bayton died poor, but his story is one of dignified courage and determination when faced with overwhelming odds. Truly, he was a man who swam against the tide. ---😊 Julie Helen Sullivan is a passionate advocate for improved access to education for children in Africa. As president of a small not-for-profit organization, she sent over 1,000 U.S. volunteer educators overseas to address issues of poverty and inequity through education. She is currently an adjunct faculty member at Arizona State University, where she works on developing health programs for the poor in the US and elsewhere in the world. Julie has a doctorate in international development from Tulane University and she lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with her husband, Alan. Julie is the daughter of the late Reverend Dr. Leon Sullivan, civil rights leader and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and Grace Banks Sullivan, the granddaughter of Captain Hansford (Hanks) Bayton. As a child, she and her brother and sister learned first-hand about the struggles of the poor through her parents’ work both in cultivating self-help principals among the poor both in the United States and in Africa. One of her earliest memories is of visiting Ghana with her family in 1976 and seeing a small girl with a beaming face walk out of a Pentecostal church dressed in a tattered dress and barefoot. The memory of that young girl, poor in material things, but wealthy in spirit, stuck with her and motivated her to desire to serve. She has over 25 years' experience in the development and implementation of grassroots education and health programs in more than dozen sub-Saharan countries. Many of these projects focused on the welfare of the child, mothers, and school leavers and involved literacy development, primary education teacher training, HIV/AIDs prevention and conflict mitigation. Many of the former volunteers who participated in these projects have chosen to live and work in Africa, working on the ground to empower people at the grassroots level. As a result of the training provided by the volunteers, over 500,000 teachers in Africa have been impacted, who, in turn, have had a positive effect on the lives of millions, particularly among the most vulnerable. Julie has won several awards for her work, including the 2009 World Association of Nongovernmental Organization’s Education award for innovation and leadership, the American Red Cross award for leadership in 2007, and she was honored in 2013 by the Arizona Historical Commission Centennial Legacy Project. She is a board member of Ballet Arizona and a member of Charter 100 of Phoenix, Arizona. Her book about her great-grandfather is a deeply personal story. The life of Captain Hansford Bayton is a beacon of hope for her during times of crisis. A reminder for all of us that challenges are placed there to overcome and that the history of African Americans in this country is one of pride, fortitude and courage.

She moved quickly through the ranks of the concentration camp hierarchy due to her cruelty and fearlessness. At the age of 20 she was the youngest female camp supervisor in the SS. Prisoners recall Grese using her custom whip, gun, and attack dog as she moved through the camps, causing terror in prisoners with torture and death.

Her attractiveness was legendary among prisoners and staff and - later - the press. Her good looks were used against her at trial. She was complimented by her hangman. What created Irma Grese? Was she a killer given the right tools at the opportune time? Was she a true sadist? Or was she attempting to heal childhood injuries? Criminologist and award - winning author Judith A.
