In this final segment, we tackle the eerie silence surrounding Richard Allen’s current status in the Oklahoma prison system. Even his wife Kathy—who hasn’t seen him since the conviction—is still waiting weeks into a background check just to visit. Advocacy groups and legal experts can’t even find his inmate listing. So the question becomes: where is Richard Allen? And why is he being kept so hard to reach?
Tony, Stacy, Todd, and Bob explore the systemic fog that has enveloped Allen since his sentencing. With no transparency, no accountability, and no updates—even his appellate attorneys are struggling to get access. This isn’t just legal red tape. It’s a case study in how a person can be swallowed by the prison system, with safeguards eroded under vague “safekeeping” orders and bureaucratic runarounds.
We also discuss the bigger picture: is the state trying to disappear Richard Allen to avoid scrutiny? Are they protecting a conviction at the expense of basic human rights? Or has the machine simply stopped caring what happens to the man at the center of one of the most contested murder trials in recent history?
This is a wake-up call for anyone who believes due process is still alive and well in America.
