About this listen
In this episode, we unpack a disturbing case from Five Points Correctional Facility in Romulus, New York. We explore the recent guilty plea and sentencing of 43-year-old Kevin Farley, who admitted to strangling his cellmate, 42-year-old Adam Lafferty. He strangled him to death inside their shared cell in December 2024. Farley used a homemade garrote with shoelaces and a metal device in the attack. Prosecutors secured an additional 25-year-to-life sentence on top of his existing 24-to-life term for a prior murder conviction. We discuss the facts of the case, the reaction from the victim’s family, the broader questions it raises about inmate safety and prison violence, and what this means for the justice system going forward.
