Get the buttons here!A Father's Grief: Jared Jenson's Fight for Justice After His Daughter's Tragic Death
This is a tight knit community and I have a sturdy hornet's nest up. We got another elk up there and we got- this is Maddie's corner over here. That is, beyond anything else, that her life mattered.
Picture this: a father, a rancher from Duchesne County, Utah, grappling with the unimaginable loss of his 21-year-old daughter. Jared Jenson's world was turned upside down when his daughter died in the county jail while going through opioid withdrawal. In this deeply moving episode of 'Odyssey House Journals', Jared sits down with TV news legend Randall Carlisle to share his heart-wrenching story. His daughter’s death was not just a personal tragedy but a glaring example of systemic failure.
Jared reveals the negligence of the medical nurse, Janna Clyde, who was responsible for the inmates' care but failed to follow the existing withdrawal protocol. As a result, a young life was lost in just four days, transforming a vibrant woman into an emaciated body found lifeless in her cell. The episode goes beyond personal grief to shed light on the broader issues at play.
Jared discusses the 'good old boy' network in Duchesne County, which made it incredibly difficult to seek justice and accountability. He opens up about his plans to use any monetary settlement from the upcoming court case to raise awareness and support others facing similar struggles. This episode is a stark reminder of the urgent need for better support systems for those battling addiction and the importance of valuing every life.
Jared's story is not just a call to action; it's a plea for empathy and change. Tune in to hear this powerful narrative and understand why we must fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.
