Joshua Hellon had a tough childhood, but he knew one thing for certain: he loved his dad. One day, he learned an awful truth, and it sent him on a long downward spiral. Many years later, Joshua had the opportunity to reevaluate his anger, and define for himself what family really means. Uncuffed producer Jorge Lopez spoke to Joshua at San Quentin Rehabilitation Center.
