    The Prison Wives Bible Book Launch!

    In this special episode, we sit down with Jessica San Luis, co-author of The Prison Wives Bible, to mark the launch of a book that is already resonating deeply with families impacted by incarceration. Jessica joins Host and Co-Author Phillip A. Jones in a candid conversation about why the book was written, who it is for, and the realities of loving someone behind bars that are so often left unspoken. Together, the authors reflect on the long road that led to this project—from lived experience and years of navigating the criminal legal system, to the urgent need for practical guidance, emotional validation, and community for prison wives, partners, parents, and loved ones. They discuss the myths surrounding incarceration, the quiet labor carried by families on the outside, and how The Prison Wives Bible serves as both a roadmap and a lifeline through an often isolating journey. This episode is an honest, compassionate conversation about resilience, loyalty, grief, love, and survival. Whether you are directly impacted by incarceration, work in advocacy, or want to better understand the human cost of the system, this discussion offers clarity, solidarity, and hope—and invites listeners into a space where these stories are finally centered and honored.

    PHILLIP A. JONES x TRAVON MCCOY- PRISON IS NOT MY END!

    Host, Phillip A. Jones had a powerful conversation with guest, Travon McCoy, and inspiring voice who is shining beyond the walls of prison. As, I continue hosting The Wall Behind and Beyond, my mission goes beyond sharing my own story. It's about amplifying the voices of those who are working to change the criminal justice landscape, especially those who are still incarcerated, and are often overlooked. We must remember: it's not always about us. Sometimes, it's about making space for others who deserve a first or second chance. So, hats off to my fellow Baltimorean, Travon McCoy, who's not just talking the talk, he's walking the walk.

    Meaningful Conversation with Phillip A. Jones x Jill P. Carter

    Host Phillip A. Jones had the incredible opportunity to sit down with the incomparable Hon. Jill P. Carter for a conversation that was nothing short of powerful. The depth, insight, and truth that flowed during this dialogue had me repeatedly saying, "This is fire!" Talk about a trailblazer-Jill P. Carter is the embodiment of strength, wisdom, empathy, and grace. She carries herself with class, compassion, and conviction. A true champion for justice, her legacy is marked by fearless advocacy, a relentless pursuit of equity, and an unwavering commitment to uplifting the voiceless. Her words didn't just speak to the moment-they spoke to the movement.
