This is Samuel Harper's story. He has more than twenty years in a Pennsylvania prison after being charged and convicted for the death of his then wife, who was a Philadelphia police officer. This was a time when the Philedelphia streets were governed by corruption. Convictions were a means to generate profit and notoriety. It was only recently that this corruption began to be suppressed. Officers had been exposed and arrested on a regular basis. We learned that the court had a list of these rogue cops called the "do not call," to testify, because they had a reputation for beating people into confessing and mishandling evidence. Several victims of this judicial corruption had recently been released from prison after serving decades for crimes they did not commit. Many were young men or women at the time the cops beat them into confessing to a murder that they had nothing to do with. Charges were misapplied and evidence went missing in many cases during this time period. And there are still many of these innocent men and women left in prison without a voice or platform. This is Sam's voice, and we have an opportunity to bring him home

Jermey Chaney has been charged with the death of his beloved two year old son, who had unfortunately died from a drug overdose. Chaney's mother, the child's mother, and a friend who had been living at the residence had all been charged with the child's death. I have known Chaney for nearly ten years and I know he no longer has any dealings with illicit drugs. I learned of this case this time last year when I heard his name on the news as I sat at my desk writing in my prison cell. After I was released I saw that Chaney had sent me a friend request several years prior and when I finally over came my own anxiety, I called him. I learned that the court was planning on using his case to gain attention and promotions. Chaney's poor mother had also become apart of the courts plot to make a name for themselves. It's a classic example of what could happen to anyone. As I spoke to Chaney I learned that this case may be a little more twisted than I had imagined. He believes his child was intentionally killed, and honestly, the evidence may support that. Unfortunately, the court isn't seeking justice, they want four convictions by any means necessary. I suppose it may be up to me to see to it that the wrong people don't go to prison.

Mark Rokita Jr. was recently released from prison after serving more than a decade in Pennsylvanias toughest prisons. He struggled to adjust back into society and his only friends are those that remain in prison for the rest of their lives for murder, some of whom he believes did not commit the murder but was charged with murder because of a Pennsylvania law that state when a person is near the event and friends with the person who killed another they too get charged with murder. And in Pennsylvania, murder equates to a life without the possibility of parole. Rokita was apart of a group of log-time and lifers in prison who have dedicated their time to fighting for reform. These conversations may have details of a murder unknown to the public and even the deceased family and loved ones. Rokita recorded his conversations in the hopes to get these stories out to the public and after learning about podcasting he decided to turn these recordings into epidodes and continued to create new ones. Allowing those behind bars to have a voice and to tell the world what is truly going on behind the walls that have been built by corruption and greed. This is episode one and though not the first recorded conversation, a taste of what's to come. Rokita talks with long time friend Stephen Poaches, who is serving life without parole for the alleged murder of his preganant friend who happened to be a relative of a political figure in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. His story had been featured on television stations and the reenactments you'll learn got it all wrong. For more than twenty years people believed that Poaches was caught red-handed, standing over the dead body with a shovel in one hand and a body bag in another. But you will learn that the arresting papers tell a different story. Sit back and learn what it's like to become a prisoner and fight for your life and freedom, by people who had spent a vast majority of their lives in prison, because it could certainly happen to anyone. "you find our lives so entertaining, so here it is, from us."
