About this listen

The inmate population at the state Prison at Waymart in Northeastern PA is older than most other state lockups. And its volunteer-based hospice program allows inmates to receive training to care for other inmates at the end of their lives.

The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) recently announced a new initiative, creating a new statewide Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Technical Assistance Center, hailed as the first-of-its kind in the nation. Joining us for a deeper dive is Jackie Weaknecht, director of PCCD's office of justice programs.
