A young FBI agent named Leah Marx arrives in Los Angeles and receives a tip in 2010 about brutal conditions at Men’s Central Jail downtown. Such complaints have gone nowhere for years, since they pit the allegations of inmates against the word of jail deputies. But she finds informants, including a wily bank robber, Anthony Brown, who is facing life in prison and is willing to help. She reflects on a family tragedy that informs her perspective and fuels her sense of mission. Meanwhile, an ambitious young jailer named James Sexton works his way through the ranks, trying to overcome his image as a “brass baby,” the son of a prominent law officer, while navigating a complicated agency where loyalty is a prime value. That jail was notorious for violence and neglect, and outside investigations had rarely gained traction. By entering Men’s Central Jail, the FBI was challenging a department that had long resisted oversight. The series is reported and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Goffard, best known for his work on Dirty John. Topics in this episode include: Operation Pandora’s Box, Anthony Brown informant, James Sexton, Los Angeles County Jail scandal, FBI investigation, Sheriff Lee Baca.…

Racial Equity. What do you think when you hear this term? As you can imagine, racial equity may mean different things to different people based on who they are, their values, and their beliefs. The murder of George Floyd sparked national and international outrage and caused many organizations to step up their DEI efforts and even embrace race equity in the workplace. During this show Dr. Sylvia and her guest Chrysta Wilson dive into race equity, what it means and if it’s achievable. Chyrsta is the founder of Wilson and Associates Coaching and Consulting, a woman-led firm, who partners with dynamic purpose-driven people and organizations that want to create racial equity and social change. Chrysta spent the last 22 years supporting efforts that advance equity and justice in communities across the United States.

It was born from her own navigation of covert and overt racism and classism that she experienced in her childhood growing up in the same region. Ultimately, she is committed to supporting people, organizations, and institutions in their transformations, so they are better positioned to accomplish their vision connected to equity, liberation, and justice.…

March is National Kidney Month and March 10th is World Kidney Day. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid published these details in an April 2021 report entitled Chronic Kidney Disease Disparities: “Racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities exist in the quality of primary care for patients with chronic kidney disease and CKD risk factors.
