THE 1980 NEW MEXICO PRISON RIOTS: WHO IS TO BLAME?
Description
Who’s to blame for the 1980 New Mexico Prison Riot?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes Kate Downey, host of the CRAMPED podcast, to discuss the 1980 Prison Riot in New Mexico. They’re joined by Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early. Did a Snitching System, designed for inmates to rat out fellow inmates for contraband, and abused by the guards lead to an even more hostile environment? Pair that with deplorable living conditions and ongoing cruel and unusual punishment and things are bound to go wrong. Up on the board: No Maintenance, Guard Complacency and Contraband Hooch.
