LEMON DROP | Why Are U.S. Prisoners Dying?
Summary
Don Lemon sits down with journalist Josh Vaughn and elected official Lamont Jones to expose the horrifying reality inside Dauphin County Prison in Pennsylvania, infamous for having double the national average of inmate deaths.
Josh has spent years reporting on the systemic abuse at the prison: from a 17-day solitary confinement blackout to inhumane conditions like freezing cells and medical neglect. Lamont, once incarcerated there himself, is now seeking justice after the suspicious death of his young cousin behind those same bars.
Together, they created Death County, PA, a new podcast from Wondery that dives deep into the coverups, corruption, and devastating human cost of America’s broken prison system.
In a country where the President is pushing for more incarceration, not less, this conversation couldn’t be more urgent. What does Dauphin County tell us about the future of American justice? And who’s really paying the price?
