Justin Douglas

That caught me off guard. Turning off the lights and electricity for any amount of days feels wrong. But 17? That feels like torture. I had heard horror stories about DCP, but this was on a whole different level. This incident is now the center of a class action lawsuit against Dauphin County Prison. I ended up talking with about 10 other people who were in the hole when the electricity was cut.

They all said similar things. I wanted to get this story in the paper. I wondered if the impact would be different now. For years, the county commissioners had been happy to keep the public in the dark about DCP. Now, Justin had been elected commissioner and he had campaigned to end the neglect and suffering at DCP.

But Justin was about to learn the hard way that there's a major difference between running a campaign and running the county. In Death County, PA, Lamont Jones is fighting to uncover the truth about his cousin's death in Dolphin County Prison. But standing in his way is a reality TV corner and a system built on secrets.

Justin wanted to hit the ground running as a commissioner. When he got an email that his official badge was ready, he couldn't wait to go pick it up. He drove into downtown Harrisburg to the county offices, walked past the statue of a cow out front, headed inside the brick building, and took the elevator to the fourth floor to pick up his badge. That had my name on it.

The badge was just a piece of plastic. The county offices weren't ready for Justin, and it sure seemed like they weren't in any rush to get there.

But as promised, DCP was one of Justin's top priorities. He wanted to prevent inmate deaths and improve conditions. I asked him how he was going to do that. based on what you've learned up until now, why are there cell deaths and what are some ways that we can actually stop them?
