   The Criminal Justice System Has a BIG Problem | Attorney Edward Cohn

   What happens when you’re arrested? When should you talk to police? And what happens when going to trial can potentially mean facing a much harsher sentence than taking a plea deal?In this episode of The In And Out Podcast, Eric sits down with Edward Cohn, a criminal defense attorney with 23 years of experience, for an in-depth conversation about the realities of the American criminal justice system.Edward shares his unusual path from spending years in a band with his sister to becoming a criminal defense attorney, as well as how his training through Harvard Kennedy School’s negotiation program shaped the way he advocates for his clients.The conversation covers plea bargaining, trial penalties, wrongful convictions, attorney-client relationships, public defenders vs. private attorneys, sentencing, mental health, and the importance of having strong legal representation.Edward also explains one of the most important things he believes people should know when dealing with police: exercise your right to remain silent and ask for a lawyer.He breaks down why defendants sometimes plead guilty even when they maintain their innocence, how prosecutors and defense attorneys negotiate, what judges consider during sentencing, and why resources can affect a person's ability to navigate the legal system.Edward also shares cases involving wrongful convictions, mental health, and clients whose lives changed dramatically because of the outcome of their cases.And ultimately, Edward explains why he continues doing this work: because changing one person's life can create a ripple effect through an entire family and community.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes and does not constitute legal advice.

   "They're Not Bad People. They're Sick!" | Coach Steele on Prison, Recovery, and Healing

   On this episode of The In And Out Podcast, we sit down with Coach Darrell Steele, founder of Elevate Recovery Solutions, for a powerful conversation about incarceration, addiction, trauma, mental health, and what it truly takes to rebuild a life after prison.Coach Steele shares his personal journey from growing up in a two-parent household in Oklahoma to battling addiction, serving time in a maximum-security prison, and ultimately dedicating his life to helping others successfully navigate recovery and reentry.This conversation explores why reentry begins on the very first day of incarceration—not the day a person is released—and why so many formerly incarcerated individuals struggle when they return home. Coach Steele discusses the importance of having a support system, the challenges faced by individuals with mental health diagnoses, and why some people remain incarcerated simply because they have nowhere safe or stable to go.Drawing from his experiences as both a football coach and recovery coach, Coach Steele explains why coaching is about seeing the bigger picture, carrying people through difficult seasons, and helping others discover their own capacity for transformation.In this episode, we discuss:• The connection between childhood trauma and incarceration• Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) and their impact on decision-making• Addiction, recovery, and generational cycles of pain• Why incarceration and addiction recovery share many similarities• The importance of community, mentorship, and having a village• Mental health challenges within the prison system• Faith, spirituality, and finding purpose behind bars• The unique struggles facing Black communities today• Why transformation cannot be forced—it must be chosenCoach Steele also shares how the support of his wife, church community, and faith helped him rebuild his life after prison, and why he believes recovery is possible for anyone willing to surrender, seek help, and do the work."If they're still breathing, there's hope."Whether you've been personally impacted by incarceration, addiction, trauma, or simply want to better understand the challenges facing our communities, this episode offers insight, compassion, and practical wisdom for the journey toward healing.Learn more about Elevate Recovery Solutions and the work Coach Darrell Steele is doing to support recovery and reentry.#TheInAndOutPodcast #CoachDarrellSteele #Recovery #PrisonReform #Reentry #AddictionRecovery #MentalHealth #TraumaHealing #FaithAndRecovery #ElevateRecoverySolutionsGot a story?
