I'm sure the victim's family was thrilled that the murderer got his time cut in half because he fixed a lawnmower.
Subtitler: I think it might be trustee, not trusty.
6 years for killing a man. Maybe that’s why he seems so happy.
🤠🤠👍👍
Work well done thank you for sharing
So interesting. Thanks for this history
Unusual to observe that type of grave marker in a prison cemetery.Uly must've had some connections to pull that off.
It's fascinating to see how societies perceptions about how we treat people (women, children, inmates, etc) continue to evolve and improve. I enjoyed hearing how people like Bree who are re-imagining what corrections could look like. There has to be a way we can create a better process, with better outcomes, at a lower price. I especially liked hearing that Bree LOVES data, as it will be especially important as we run experiments like East Dorm, to properly determine if they are successful.
Love you keep doing what your doing it is getting noticed!!! She would be proud!!!
Very informative presentation; well done.It's my understanding that Powell and Walrath were executed in the prison yard in the vicinity of the rose garden and not inside in the execution chamber shown in this clip.Personally I feel that Powell was equally guilty in this cowardly robbery and murder.Even though Walrath was the "mastermind" of the plan and stabbed Mr.Wilson Powell assisted and assaulted the victim with a sap.Contrary to Powell's statement, he definitely had blood on his hands from that night.Also,the victim knew Powell and didn't feel threatened by his presence with Walrath,who he didn't know.Powell betrayed the elderly grocer, plain and simple.The two criminals were solely responsible for their executions.Hopefully they were truthful and had repented and both were sincerely remorseful.A tragic and unnecessary murder in which three lives were ended.
Its so fun to hear the stories associated with all of the buildings! He was so awesome to listen to.
Miss you so much dad I love you I couldn't ask for a better father , I watch this once a year, I will never forgot the stories you told me, your the definition of a true OG
Not sure how I feel about this man being out so much earlier. Yet, it's not me to decide his fate.
Well don't murder people
Great story. Thanks and God bless you.
Change the damn music. It’s annoying and unfitting. !!!
Good story. Nice guy.
Thank you for being brave and sharing your experience. Hugs and kisses 💋 I wnt to prison one because a girl stalker who was sleeping with my husband. I still don't know why I was arrested. I like your honesty. I wish more people told the truth.
Always so interesting to see the accounts of these events from somebody who actually lived it! Love the stuff guys! Greetings from the Eagle city historical Society!
Love you my brother.
This woman is a saint. There aren't words for how much what she does matters to kids and their incarcerated parents.
I went here 😂❤
pretty good
That was awesome 🎉
Pineapple productions and betaswitch productions are the producers
Jordan didn’t direct this short. Jorge Harrington did
Now they have a badass chopper show there
duude that’s sick
I absolutely love this. Grew up in Idaho and have never heard about this. Very inspiring, thank you so much for sharing some beautiful history of people who were sold out to Christ.
Good job on presenting this history! I liked the coverage on the debate of life imprisonment versus the death penalty.
Love this video and glad Dennis has been memorialized on film! (first time visitor from San Diego, CA 4/3/23)
My grandma was engaged to this man and broke it off before he married Mildred. Thank God! It could have been her!
Thank goodness
I’ve had the pleasure of listening to Eric many times, and he has always been one of my favorite historians.
She seems like she was a character! Whipped those ladies into shape!
This man described his experience, and he did exactly the same to me, he saved my life! He and I walked miles together teaching me no helping me see the truth the real truth not my truth, God bless you Joe I love you!
That prison guard is a piece of crap
Maggie Hardy. 1895 child murder
Hilarious. And unexpected
If Scott was paroled then he was still a ward of the state. Perhaps thats why he was admitted to the prison hospital? If he was a hospital patient downtown who would have paid for it?
I toured the women’s ward thirty odd years ago. The ward was set up as it was when the inmates were there. Not bare with displays on the wall
Discipline your child so prison cops won’t have too. Teach your child respect.
He was like a mentor to tons of people . One of the greatest humans to live
Fortunately executions are rare in Idaho.
