S11, Chapter 1: Bart and Krista Go Missing

A jailhouse phone call.

An interesting phenomena in its own right. The prison industrial complex in the USA generates an estimated 1.3 billions per year. In March of 2020, when the Dane County Jail stopped all in-person visitations due to the rapid spread of the Covid-19 virus they implemented a policy in which every inmate was allotted two 15-minute phone calls per day.

No matter if it's free or charged, if you happen to be on either end of a jailhouse phone call you should be aware this is not a normal phone call.

That’s because there’s an inherent irony in this kind of call. Especially one that takes place pre-trial—like the one you hear at the beginning of this episode between Chandler Halderson and his girlfriend Catherine. And the irony is this.

You’re free to talk about nearly any subject you'd like—except for the one that you both would like most to discuss.
