While she was incarcerated, Uncuffed producer Patricia Bellows was told there was a great book about street life that she needed to read. When she got the book, and saw that it was the Bible, she was skeptical. But then she read it, and re-read it, and realized there are stories that anyone can relate to. Eventually, she also started sharing the book.
