About This Podcast

Step into the harrowing world of Darrell Standing, a university professor sentenced to life in San Quentin State Prison for murder. Through the lens of his first-person narrative, we explore his battle against the prisons cruel torture device known as the jacket—a tightly laced canvas garment that constricts the body, inducing unbearable pain. In an astonishing twist, Standing learns to transcend this torment by entering a trance-like state, where he traverses the cosmos and relives fragments of his past lives. The jacket, a real instrument of suffering at San Quentin, inspired Jack Londons evocative descriptions, drawn from interviews with former convict Ed Morrell—a character within the novel. Morrell, notorious for his role in the Sontag and Evans gangs infamous Southern Pacific Railroad heist in the 1890s, endured fourteen years of incarceration, five of which were spent in solitary confinement. London ardently advocated for Morrells pardon, and after his release, Morrell became a regular visitor at Londons Beauty Ranch. (Introduction by Wikipedia)
