Starting today there's a new episode of COMM CENTER TRUE CRIME-- on The Comm Center With Drew Breasy. It's more of the COMM CENTER you love: 911 calls, compelling stories and Jon's takes. Starting June 1 it's subscriber only content, so check it out while you can.

In this true crime episode, Jon—a former corrections officer—dives into the horrifying case of Josef Fritzl, the Austrian monster who imprisoned his own daughter for 24 years beneath his family home. Joined by a special guest who jokes she’s lived her whole life like a prisoner—and who happens to be a direct descendant of a criminal—they unpack captivity, control, and why history keeps producing people who think “secret basement prison” is a lifestyle choice.

A Virginia correctional officer saw it coming — threats, warnings, even a weapon with his name on it. He went to work anyway. Months later, he was dead.

Now his widow is asking the questions the Department of Corrections won’t answer — and exposing what officers already know: the danger isn’t hypothetical, it’s daily.

In this episode, we break down the killing of Officer Jeremy Hall, the ignored warnings, and the silence that followed. Because when an officer dies, administrators hold a press conference, issue a statement, and move on — while the same policies stay in place.

Understaffed. Underpaid. Outnumbered.

Officers are told to keep quiet, keep working, and keep risking their lives — because speaking up means retaliation, unemployment, and becoming the next problem the system needs to manage.

The inmates aren’t the only ones trapped inside the prison system.
