Some of the original Uncuffed producers record a catching-up session with Greg Eskridge now that they're all home.

What happens when you get out of prison after 30 years? There's a lot of celebration, and also a lot of serious catching up to do. And who do you turn to if something goes wrong? Greg gets advice from friends who also recently came home.

And inside San Quentin, André Davis talks about going from flunking the first grade decades ago, to finally getting ready to graduate college.

Our work in prisons is supported by the California Arts Council, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, independent foundations, and donations from listeners like you.
