The other, obviously the big news that came out through the reporting and through this whole process of this podcast is Jeff haste and all the things that have come up from there. Is there anyone else that you might be turning your attention to or efforts in the County that you're able to talk about?

Late last year, PennLive's reporting uncovered that former County Commissioner Jeff Haste had accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars from the then owner of PrimeCare.

I know there had been shared at the last prison board meeting about an incident that happened at the jail that might be a good sign of some things that are coming or maybe a potential change in mindset or how things operate at DCP. Can you talk to me a little bit about what happened there?

I'm curious, Lamont, from your perspective, I mean, how do you feel about just hearing that a situation like this happened compared to, you know, the way things operated when you were there and the way things seem to have been operating for such a long period of time?

What would things look like if another death occurred at DCP today? What's the best possible outcome? And what do you think still needs to be changed to get us to whatever the best possible outcome is?

For Lamont, dealing with the aftermath of a family member who died at DCP constantly reinforces the work he's doing. Tyreek Riley's family is still seeking justice. Their lawsuit against the corrections officers involved in the use of force against Tyreek is still waiting to proceed. And they recently filed a motion to reinstate prime care as a defendant in the suit.
