Loving the mix tape episodes!
Music is the soundtrack of life!
Solano state prison
I had the opportunity this past week to speak with the guys who run the podcast out of Solano state prison and they were so lovely to speak with! They recommended to me the wild turkey episode and it did not disappoint! They are doing great work and I can’t wait for their next episode!!!
Thank you
Thank you for sharing these insights from the inside. As a loved one impacted by incarceration, I appreciate these truth tellers sharing their experiences. The episodes are well produced and really got home.
