STRANGE & BEYOND: The Tucker Telephone Torture Device

Of all the true scary stories about life inside America’s jails, the Tucker Telephone is surely the most awful. And for inmates doing time at the Tucker State Prison Farm in Arkansas in the early 1960s, there was nothing more terrifying than the Tucker Telephone. The Tucker Telephone was a sadistic method of punishment frequently used on prisoners at the state prison which is now the Tucker Unit of the Arkansas Department of Correction. The torture device was the brainchild of prison physician Dr. A.E. Rollins and prison superintendent Jim Bruton. Hooked up to a source of immense electric power, the Tucker Telephone functioned as an electric shock device attached to the private parts of victims. Inmates sent to the “hospital room” were strapped down to a table with two wires applied to their skin. The ground wire was wrapped around their big toe while the hot wire — which the electricity ran through — was strapped to the inmate’s genitals. Once the doctors turned the crank on the Tucker Telephone, their victims were brutally shocked by torrents of electricity. Sometimes these torture sessions dragged on for long periods, known as “long-distance calls.” This is the true story of the Tucker Telephone Torture Device.  Thanks for listening!

NIGHTMARES & DREAMSCAPES: "INSOMNIA"

Trouble sleeping? Globally, around one-third of people experience unsatisfying sleep [https://www.sleepfoundation.org/insomnia]. If sleeping difficulties meet certain criteria, they are diagnosed as the sleep disorder insomnia [https://www.sleepfoundation.org/insomnia]. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, insomnia is defined as difficulty either falling or staying asleep that is accompanied by daytime impairments related to those sleep troubles. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine categorizes insomnia into different types: chronic insomnia disorder, short-term insomnia disorder, and other insomnia disorder. We explore what insomnia is and the disorder’s various subtypes, symptoms, causes, and treatments. Thank you for listening!  Please rate and review this episode.

NIGHTMARES & DREAMSCAPES: "DREAMS"

Dreams are one of the most fascinating and mystifying aspects of sleep. Since Sigmund Freud helped draw attention to the potential importance of dreams in the late 19th century, considerable research has worked to unravel both the neuroscience and psychology of dreams. Despite this advancing scientific knowledge, there is much that remains unknown about both sleep and dreams. Even the most fundamental question — why do we dream at all? — is still subject to significant debate. While everyone dreams, the content of those dreams and their effect on sleep can vary dramatically from person to person. Even though there’s no simple explanation for the meaning and purpose of dreams, it’s helpful to understand the basics of dreams, the potential impact of nightmares, and steps that you can take to sleep better with sweet dreams. Good friend and fellow podcaster Jason Morris from the podcast show "Keeping It Real with Jay Scott" joins me for a fascinating discussion on dreams. Good personal stories, information from psychology and neurology and much, much more! Often comedic and controversial. It's all here...
