The disaster of Health in the D.O.C - Brad Hays

About this episode

Brad Hays discusses his life sentence and the issues within the Missouri Department of Corrections.

When you hear that someone has been handed a sentence of life plus 104 years you'd be forgiven for thinking that today I am sitting down with some sort of serial killer, or someone who has committed some incredibly heinous crimes but you'd be wrong. Brad Hays is currently serving his incredible sentence in the state of Missouri. Brad is no career criminal, in fact up until this sentence he had never been to prison. Brad Hays did not kill anyone, he wasn't even present when someone was killed, in fact no one died at all in Brad's case but none the less he has been unable to get any relife in his case. Today I catch up with Brad to see whats been happening in the world of the Missouri DOC, the disaster that is the lack of health care, officers accused of committing murder, the rise in the drug K2 and where he's at with trying to get a reduction in his sentence.
