On Our Watch
When correctional officer Valentino Rodriguez first stepped behind prison walls, he wasn't just starting a job, he was joining a family. What he didn’t know was that he was now bound by an unwritten code that would ultimately test his loyalty to his oath and his fellow officers. Five years later, Valentino's sudden death would raise questions from the FBI, his family and his mentor in the elite investigative unit where they both worked. This season, join us as we follow in Valentino’s footsteps to uncover the secrets hidden inside the most dangerous prison in California: New Folsom.

I teach a class at a college in Georgia, and I have consistently used episodes of this podcast in my teaching. Students love it. . . Thank you for this service—and for the in-depth reporting.

Wow. That’s all I can say right now while I process all 8 episodes. Wow.
~ Vocal Fry ~ Too long, repetitive
Sep 3
Podcast centers on a corrections office with a substance abuse problem. He leaves the force and 9 months later he gets married. 3 weeks after that, his new bride finds him deceased by his own hand. The podcast identifies the need for better mental health care for all professions, including correctional officers. Heartbreaking story, particularly for the surviving family members. Producer dragged out 8 episodes way too long. Also vocal fry technique by the narrator is distracting. The majority of correctional officers do a great job in a tough situation everyday. Thin blue line.
Incredible journalism
