10/29/14 - Today’s Topical Currents looks at the often criticized Dade Correctional Institute.

State audits have cited a “lack of oversight and a culture of inattentiveness” in the facility. Former Correctional Institute psychotherapist GeorgeMallinckrodt goes further in his criticism.  He’s written GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER, which cites the death of inmate Darren Rainey, who died after punishment by correctional officers. Mallinkrodt and Miami Herald reporter Julie Brown are guests. Topical Currents Wednesday at 1pm on 91.3 WLRN.

WLRN Radio's Joseph Cooper says producing and hosting Topical Currents is the most rewarding experience of his long radio career, which began at the University of Missouri School of Journalism in the 1970s.
Richard Ives came to WLRN in September 2000 to begin a new career in radio. Born in Fort Lauderdale, his family moved to Long Island, New York, where he grew up. After graduation from college and an unsatisfying stint in a job that, as he puts it, "paid the bills but for which I had no passion" he found himself contemplating a midlife career change after being laid-off.
