My Brother Died in Prison: A Family's Fight for Justice

What happens when a family member goes to prison and, instead of serving their sentence, loses their life due to negligence that should never have occurred?

In this episode, we speak with the sister of a young man who died in a prison in the Canary Islands after weeks of pleading for medical attention that, according to her testimony, never arrived in time. A harrowing but necessary account of what truly happens inside Spanish prisons.

She shares the story of her brother's final weeks, the symptoms he reported without being heard, the transfer to the hospital that came too late, and the fight she continues today, along with another family going through a similar situation, to clarify what happened and prevent cases like this from happening again.

She also speaks about the stigma faced by the families of incarcerated individuals, the mistreatment that, according to hundreds of registered complaints, occurs within Spanish prisons, and her specific request: that prison officers wear body cameras, just like law enforcement officers.

"My brother didn't want to get into trouble; he had a lot of ideas for improving things and helping people."

" We also talked about:

⚖️ The legal process seeking to clarify what happened
🏥 The weeks before his death and the lack of medical attention
📹 Why he's calling for security cameras for prison officials
📋 The 362 reports of mistreatment registered in just two prisons
