00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.160
Hey, we're doing something a little
different today. I wanted to introduce you

2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:07.559
to a new show that I know
you're really going to want to listen to

3
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:14.480
On Our Watch. On Our Watch
is an investigative podcast series from KQED this

4
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:19.000
season, it follows the stories of
two correctional officers who pay a high price

5
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:25.000
for exposing corruption and abuse by their
fellow officers. The show shines a light

6
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:29.879
on a broken accountability system through interrogation
tapes, nine to one one audio,

7
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:36.240
prison phone calls, personal audio recordings, and hours of emotional interviews. It's

8
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:41.000
an explosive narrative you need to hear. Next up, we have the trailer

9
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:44.560
just for you. Take a listen, take it in, and then find

10
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:48.880
and follow on our Watch. Wherever
you're listening to this right now, you're

11
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:52.600
going to want to hear the whole
story. He wanted to be an investigator.

12
00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:00.200
He said, it was the most
dangerous prison in California. Each day

13
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:04.959
people step inside prison walls not to
serve a sentence, but to do a

14
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:14.799
job. I state your name,
recognize the badge of my office. Correctional

15
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:19.560
officers promised to protect the innocent and
hold each other accountable, and I accept

16
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:26.680
it as a public trust, and
in turn there promised a new family.

17
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:34.799
Congratulations, welcome to the family.
But once behind the walls, those promises

18
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:41.680
are hard to keep. He texted, I sold my pride for the job

19
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.200
and it wasn't worth it. This
one sergeant, he put his hands around

20
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:49.319
his neck and he said, I
can make it look like an accident in

21
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:55.000
a place where secrecy is enforced through
intimidation and threat of violence. To live

22
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:59.599
under that kind of fear, I
can't explain to you lives hang in the

23
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.840
balance. They just really don't give
a fun. They don't hear about my

24
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:06.959
life, don't care about helping me. Did you hear that he had died?

25
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:13.319
No? Yeah, I'm really sorry
to be telling you that. That's

26
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:20.360
follow Clay, Follow Clay. Honestly, this is a story about two men

27
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:25.439
who defied the unwritten code that binds
that brotherhood together. Everything about this case

28
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:31.840
raises questions why was he banned from
this institution and the cost they paid for

29
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:38.520
telling the truth inside a system bent
on protecting itself. There's no denying that

30
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.879
they're fucking responsible for what happened.
Losing my son has been something else.

31
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:52.919
Hey, one day I'll find out
the answers from Kiki D. I'm Suki
