In this episode, host Pamela Price sits down with Alex Feigen Fasteau, a seasoned veteran prosecutor with over two decades of experience in San Francisco and Alameda County.

Together, they pull back the curtain on the complexities of the justice system, from prosecuting economic crimes and sexual assault to the high-stakes work of the Public Accountability Unit.

Feigan Fasteau shares how he was summarily fired by the interim appointed District Attorney less than two weeks after she took office, and there was no transition of the cases the Public Accountability Unit was handling for two years.

In this episode, we discuss:

The Opportunity: What drives a 20-year San Francisco prosecutor to join the Alameda County DA’s office?

The Transition: How Feigen Fasteau and anyone with less than a year tenure was fired by the interim appointed District Attorney without any consideration of their work or their worth to the people of Alameda County.

Systemic Issues: Addressing the "criminalization of poverty" and systemic racism from within the prosecutor's office.

Police Accountability: The logistical and legal hurdles of charging peace officers, including the reality of "qualified immunity" and the need for independent investigations.

The Maurice Monk Case: A look into the supervision of high-profile cases involving in-custody deaths and public records.

The "Blue Wall": The challenges of finding independent officers willing to sign affidavits against their own.

Alex shares his unique journey from being hired by Kamala Harris to becoming the Director of Public Accountability for Alameda County and now, transitioning into civil rights law.

In this powerful short segment from the American Bar Association’s Criminal Justice Section's Spring Meeting, I dive into the "Women in the Wake of Epstein and Diddy" panel.

While high-profile cases like Jeffrey Epstein and Sean "Diddy" Combs dominate the headlines, they reveal a much deeper, systemic issue within the United States: the normalization of exploitation.

In this short take, I explore:

• The transition from "romanticizing" figures like Hugh Hefner to the "national reckoning" of today.
• How the legal system often fails survivors, particularly those from marginalized communities.
• The startling statistics of gender-based violence and why 50-60% of incidents go unreported.

I also share a tribute to the trailblazing women—from Diane R. Williams to the Epstein survivors—who paved the way for accountability.

It’s time to move past systemic indifference and start listening to the voices that have been silenced for too long.

In this powerful episode, former Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price sits down with Tinisch Hollins, Executive Director of Californians for Safety and Justice, for an unfiltered conversation about what safety and justice actually look like for Black communities and underserved survivors.

Tinisch — a crime survivor, domestic violence survivor, and community organizer for nearly two decades — shares her personal journey from the streets of San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood to leading one of the most impactful criminal justice reform organizations in California.

Together, Pamela and Tinisch break down:

Why most crime victims never hear about victims' compensation — and why the system is designed to keep it that way.
The devastating reality of being a domestic violence survivor who ends up getting arrested.
Why communities don't feel safe calling the police — and what real safety actually looks like
The landmark SB 731 expungement law and why clearing records is a public safety strategy
Why victims of police violence are excluded from the very compensation funds designed to help victims
The political power struggle that leaves survivors re-traumatized and re-victimized

This conversation is raw, real, and deeply necessary. If you've ever wondered why justice feels out of reach for so many in our communities — this episode is for you.

The Epstein Files continue to send shockwaves through 2026 as new documents reveal the deep "tentacles" reaching into the highest levels of power.

In this super short episode of Pamela Price Unfiltered, we dive into the forced transparency of the Trump DOJ and the disturbing connections between Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump, and the First Lady, Melania Trump.

We also take a hard look at Brett Ratner, the director of the new Melania special film. Despite a history of sexual misconduct allegations exposed during the #MeToo movement and his reported ties to Epstein, Ratner is back in the spotlight. Why did the Trumps choose him? We examine the photos, the letters, and the "rich and rotten" reality behind the scenes.
