Dauphin County Prison Deaths Explored in New Podcast Episode
Pennsylvania – The chilling realities behind the deaths at Dauphin County Prison are brought to light in the latest episode of the investigative podcast "Death County, Pa." The third episode, released on Monday, highlights not only violent confrontations but also extreme temperatures and inadequate medical treatment as contributing factors.
Produced by Wondery in collaboration with PennLive, this episode features the tragic account of Jamal Crummel, an inmate with mental health issues who succumbed to severe hypothermia in a frigid cell lacking heat. His body temperature plummeted below 90 degrees, leading to extensive skin damage. Despite the severity of his condition, prison authorities chose not to transfer him to a specialized medical unit, opting instead for a local hospital treatment, which ultimately failed to ensure his safety upon return to the same cellblock that caused his crisis.
Narrated by PennLive Investigative Reporter Joshua Vaughn, "Death County, Pa." has quickly gained traction, reaching the top of Apple’s podcast charts just two days post-release. Previous episodes have examined the suspicious deaths of two other inmates, adding layers to this grim narrative surrounding the penitentiary system.
New episodes of the series are released every Monday, with all six available to subscribers of Wondery Plus. The podcast aims to provide a comprehensive look into the alarming rates of inmate fatalities in Pennsylvania’s Dauphin County Prison, shedding light on systemic issues demanding urgent attention.
Listeners can access the series on platforms like Apple and Spotify, where Wondery has established a reputation for producing award-winning content that often transitions into popular TV adaptations.
