Criminal justice from the inside-out.

Scroll Down

When it comes to criminal justice, most people think the evening news or the latest cop drama. The Shakedown's hosts share their personal experiences and stories dealing with the criminal justice system. The Shakedown constantly looks for ways to humanize those touched by the criminal justice system and to find ways to improve our systems of law, order, and justice.

After spending six years in prison, Ryan (a.k.a. "Rainforest" or "Rainy") believes that criminal justice can be changed through changing the public's mindset about justice, punishment, and the purpose of the justice system.

Co-Host, Hippie Activist

After spending thirty years in prison Malone (his only alias) writes, draws, inks, and paints comics and other art. Malone is a firm believer in an empathetic approach to criminal justice and believes society will not get on board with a justice system without some sort of punishment. He also likes to claim that he is a prize-winning backyard cage match fighter. 

Comic Artist, Orangutan Enthusiast
