Josh talks with guests Steve Bailey of the Post & Courier and Victoria McKenzie of the Crime Report about the Lee Correctional Facility Riot.

The Lee riot was the deadliest prison riot in 25 years, resulting in 7 dead and many more injured.

Steve Bailey has written many articles about the problems with the prison system in South Carolina including 2ec6-11e8-9c80-7fc74fb2aa40.html">this article which preceded the riot but predicted something terrible was building.

Victoria, writing on assignment for CBS News, wrote one of the better articles I have seen about the Lee Correctional Riot.

The articles that angered me included this article from Newsweek and this article from Greenville Online.

I was also angered by this article quoting South Carolina's governor Henry McMaster (I believe I said his name incorrectly a few times).

There were some good details that could be gleaned from some of the great journalism, unfortunately, most of the reporting was simply a recitation of the official story about the riot.
