The #CBS #60minutes #CECOT story is hugely important (see https://archive.org/details/insidececot_202512 and https://archive.org/details/videoplayback_20251223_1653 and https://archive.org/details/inside-cecot), but #PBS #Frontline and #ProPublica also covered it back on Dec. 9, 2025, in Frontline's S43E17 episode.

The episode has two parts:

"Status: Venezuelan" (https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/documentary/status-venezuelan/ or https://archive.org/details/youtube-sKSzBwTatm8)

"Surviving CECOT" (https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/documentary/surviving-cecot/ or https://archive.org/details/surviving-cecot-full-documentary-deported-to-a-maximum-security-prison-frontline-pro-publica)

Both parts are very much worth watching and sharing, especially now.

@heidilifeldman there's also a PBS Frontline take that aired well before CBS got around to capitulating on airing their own expose. Might as well support real journalism with "views" while boosting interest for a waffle house.

Zelensky’s ex-chief of staff Yermak says he’s ‘going to the front’ after #resigning amid #corruption probe

“I’m going to the front and am prepared for any reprisals,” he said. “I am an honest and decent person.”

#Yermak's remarks came after the National #Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) searched his premises on Nov. 28 as part of a sweeping probe into alleged #embezzlement at state nuclear operator #Energoatom.

Frontline report: Russia’s prison-to-frontline pipeline breaks down as convicts choose escape over certain death

With fabricated charges piling years onto sentences and frontline survival rates near zero, Russian prisoners are increasingly killing their guards and fleeing – recognizing that running offers better odds than either prison or combat.
