    Episode 10 - Happy Holidays

    In the last episode of 2018, men from Lancaster State Prison call in to wish their loved ones happy holidays. Tobias, who was recently released after serving 28 plus years, also has some fun surprising the callers. This episode may get a little heavy at times, but Tobias does a great job of balancing out all the heavy-ness with his light spirit and energy. We also talk about holiday traditions behind bars, the meaning of radical kinship, and coping with the various barriers the state and federal government place on families of incarcerated folks. Thank you all for supporting and listening in 2018. Thank you for sharing and for commenting on our episodes because without your help, these voices would not get beyond the bars.
