Today is the 46th anniversary of the massacre that ended the Attica Prison Uprising. To mark the occasion, Loud & Clear discusses the prison system in this country — the human rights abuses, the exploitation, the neglect of prisoners, and more. Could another Attica rebellion happen in 2017?
In the second hour, John and Brian take a look at the breaking news of the day.

Next, Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah announced that victory over the Islamic State is at hand in Syria and that only mop-up operations remain. We'll speak with former UK Ambassador to Syria Peter Ford.
In the third segment, the hosts talk to Korean Policy Institute fellow Dr. Simone Chun and international criminal lawyer Christopher Black about reports that the South Korean government has established a "decapitation squad" to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
