This is a stand-alone episode about one of the voices featured in our series, who is introduced to listeners as an expert but goes through his own harrowing experience with the system—when he’s sent to Rikers a few days shy of completing his parole. We document his ordeal and its surprising aftermath. This is the fifth episode of Emily Bazelon’s narrative miniseries podcast, Charged.
