Season 1: Important Senate Bill & A Bill Ferguson Project
In this insightful and episode of Prison Counts Podcast we discuss Senate bill 1201, (call a Missouri State Senator to support), which would grant innocent people a fair chance to appeal their convictions. Very important! We also have Bill Ferguson back on to discuss a video and petition he's releasing to the public which will expose more in the Heitholt case and hopefully get the Columbia Police Department to to do the one thing any rookie investigator would have done, yet twenty years later they still have not, and that's investigate the last person to see the victim alive. Do you think Michael Boyd committed this crime? If so call the Columbia Police department and demand them to do their jobs!

STAND FOR COUNT
Every time I see the number 5:34 on the clock I remember seeing it on my clock every evening while standing in my cell waiting for the CO to walk by the door and add me to the count.
Awesome!!!
This is a very insightful podcast on what incarceration and navigating the judicial system is like. Ryan and David tell it like it is. Episode 4 from season 1, Christmas in solitary, is truly intense and harrowing . Listen to this episode with Todd talking about his case and subsequent time in the “hole.” Great job guys!! I’m glad you guys are out , and doing this podcast.
I’m addicted…
I love this podcast! These two personalities are a great balance. There’s humor, passion, insight, and education. I love the variety of guests. I highly recommend it.
