It’s hard to find something Uncuffed producer Michael Callahan loves more than his family and sports. So whenever his three sons come to visit him at San Quentin, they almost always start playing baseball in the small fenced-in yard at the prison. On one particular visit, a harmless game of catch took an unexpected turn and Mike learned how sometimes parenting in prison works the other way around: his kids are often teaching him how to be better. He wrote this essay about it.
