Inspiring podcast

Thank you for sharing both your and others so
stories. The stories are heartbreaking and I pray for change within the criminal justice system. Please explain some terminology as you go as I don’t think all listeners will understand. Keep it up. I’m a subscriber for as long as this goes!
