Description

Ashley sits down with Eric King, author of A Clean Hell: Anarchy and Abolition in America’s Most Notorious Dungeon. Eric is an anarchist who spent years locked inside a federal maximum security prison. In this episode, he offers a raw and powerful look into his experience in the prison system and the reality of surviving extreme isolation with his path as a practicing pagan behind bars.



Eric shares how he built spiritual connection in an environment designed to strip people of identity, community, and meaning. From spellcrafting using whatever materials he could find, to forging a relationship with his Goddess while in prison, he gives an intimate glimpse into the rituals and resilience that sustained him through some of the harshest conditions in the U.S. prison system. This episode offers a conversation about survival, resistance, and the magic we create even in the darkest places.
