A near death experience propelled Thomas "Tom" Harvey to drop everything and become a Christian missionary. Travelling across the globe to bring the good news of Christ to others. Spending an eye opening ten years in Communist China. Then returning to America and donating his time to many worthy causes. Tom explains that in elementary school he was given another child's name and address in a neighboring town. He was directed to write them. Which he did frequently. But at the end of the school year he met his pen pal friend. This experience instilled a deep joy for letter writing that withstood all these years.

In this profound wide ranging conversation we interview Brenton Barber a Super Lawyer, former Prosecutor, and Criminal Appellate Attorney based in Phoenix, Arizona, that represents Christopher Norris which was interviewed on DefundDOC.net episode forty. Brenton shares his remarkable personal journey. Explaining why he fights so hard for those harmed by the justice system. Detailing how he struggled, like hundreds of thousands of other Americans, with opioid use disorder. Finally overcoming his debilitating addiction to become a fierce advocate for the American people. Becoming a tribal prosecutor. A Special U.S. Attorney. And now a Super Lawyer Criminal Appellate Attorney that represents innocent man Christopher Norris. Brenton argues convincingly that many innocent Americans, like Christopher, will plead guilty due to judicial coercion. Brenton goes in depth on the trend of legal professionals using artificial intelligence in their court filings. Listen to his prognostication on the possible wide spread usage of A.I. in the legal field. Brenton does not just talk either. When he was a prosecutor he tackled bail reform. And stunningly when he was robbed at gun point he went to the sentencing judge of his perpetrator and sought mercy. Seeking no prison time for the Offender due to the failure of mass incarceration. Thankfully the Judge granted his request and sentenced the perpetrator to intensive probation. Proving that imprisonment is not the answer. Restoration and Rehabilitation is the answer. Brenton's story of the robber's sentence hit co-host Daniel J. Simms profoundly as his botched drug deal turned alleged robbery was less severe yet he received a thirty four year prison sentence. Co-host Daniel is just one of millions of Americans sentenced to slow death sentences due to dumb on crime laws. This freewheeling conversation will open your eyes to many explosive topics.

Love notes from behind prison bars. In this exciting episode incarcerated Americans send their Valentine's Day messages to their loved ones. Breaking false stereotypes and prejudices that those inside are unloved or forgotten. For generations the mass media and corrupt politicians have spewed propaganda demonizing fellow Americans that made bad decisions. Using crime as a pretext to systemically enslave them in cruel prison conditions. A blatant crime against humanity. Exploiting their loved ones. Extracting vast sums from their communities. Saddling debilitating court debts on them. Ensuring cycles of impoverishment. Keeping troubled Americans uneducated and untreated. Handicapping their ability to rehabilitate. Surrounding them in artificial environments of extreme violence. Further traumatizing them. DefundDOC.net seeks to disrupt these evil paradigms. Envisioning a criminal-justice system that truly focuses on restoring our troubled Americans into productive members of society. To do that we must bring society into the prisons. Prisoners should be allowed to invite their significant others, children, or family members to spend days inside. Smartphones, laptops, and internet access should be readily available. We must reform to a hyper-socialization prison system focused on educating, treating, and socializing our people. As such we speak on a wide range of matters that are important to the incarcerated community. While also discussing current legislative reform bills pending in the State of Washington. This powerful episode will enlighten you. Opening your eyes to a future

where we can unleash the full true potential of those behind bars.
