Prisoners Fight for Freedom w/ Carl Ruiz Vice Henley - Best Last Year of Radio

Opie, Carl Ruiz and Vic Henley talk about the wild world of Thailand's Prison Fight program, where murderers and hard-core inmates battle in Muay Thai rings for a shot at royal pardon and early release—complete with a white Wisconsin fighter who could keep a killer locked up. They break down the shocking rehab stats (only 5% return), the brutal eight-limb reality of the sport, and why this brutal system might actually work better than America's endless appeals.
