Bob is joined by Iris Eytan, the CEO of Protect Ethical Prosecutors, an organization focused on prosecutorial misconduct and accountability. Etan discusses her career in civil rights, public defense, and criminal defense, and says her path into law was shaped by work with people with mental illness and unhoused teens, as well as by her family background. She explains that her early cases led her to see recurring abuses in the criminal legal system, including failures to disclose evidence and other rule violations. Eytan says the organization was founded to educate the public, build a misconduct database, and pursue legal change in Colorado, including a possible ballot measure after legislative efforts were blocked. Eytan says Protect Ethical Prosecutors wants accountability for intentional, knowing, and reckless misconduct, while not targeting good-faith mistakes. She points to cases such as Richard Glossip’s and a Colorado disbarment case as examples, and encourages people to report misconduct, recognize ethical prosecutors, and get involved.The majority of the funding of our work comes directly from listeners, through our Patreon community.  To join Patreon, click THIS LINK.  At the $5/month level you'll get access to lots of Patreon Only BONUS EPISODES, Ad Free versions of all episodes, an hour of Patreon Exclusive video content every week, and our new weekly podcast “Pre-Game”, which drops every Wednesday.  Not to mention early access to some episodes and the ability to watch and participate in interviews live.Today’s Sponsors: Quince – Head to Quince.com/Ruff for free shipping and 365 day returns.Draft Kings – Download the app and sign up with code “Truth” to claim 1000 Flex Spins and check out the exclusive Cashingo game!

Reginald Dwayne Betts was incarcerated as a teenager and spent nearly nine years in prison. While inside, he discovered literature and poetry, including during time in solitary confinement, where books were treated as contraband. After his release, he went on to become a nationally recognized poet, a Yale-trained lawyer, and the founder of Freedom Reads, an organization bringing handcrafted libraries directly into prison cellblocks. His work sits at the intersection of accountability, reentry, dignity, literature, and the question of whether America truly believes people can change. In this incredibly intriguing interview, Bob and Dwayne have a deep and meaningful conversation about not only the work that Dwayne does...but also about identity.Please consider donating to Freedom Reads at THIS LINK.The majority of the funding of our work comes directly from listeners, through our Patreon community.  To join Patreon, click THIS LINK.  At the $5/month level you'll get access to lots of Patreon Only BONUS EPISODES, Ad Free versions of all episodes, an hour of Patreon Exclusive video content every week, and our new weekly podcast “Pre-Game”, which drops every Wednesday.  Not to mention early access to some episodes and the ability to watch and participate in interviews live.Today’s Sponsors:Quince – Head to Quince.com/Ruff for free shipping and 365 day returns.Factor Meals - Head to Factormeals.com/truth50off and use code "truth50off" to get 50% off and FREE BREAKFAST for one year.
