Show Notes
Betty Jo Cooley, a former Alabama corrections officer, begins her twenty-month federal prison sentence for falsifying records to conceal an inmate beating. She pleaded guilty to covering up the incident, not the actual assault, and was sentenced to twenty-seven to thirty-three months, a stiffer penalty than the initial ten-month deal. Cooleys case highlights the importance of jail accountability and the need for real change in the system.
