In this episode, Tobias has a deep conversation with his buddy Anthony McDuffy who, at the time of this recording, had just been out of prison for a couple weeks. The conversation is semi-brief (by our standards), but definitely meaningful! I had a great time getting to know Anthony and am sure he will be back on the podcast soon!

Sentences explores the criminal (in)justice system by sharing stories from the communities most affected. This includes, but is not limited to, currently or formerly incarcerated folks, family members and loved ones of formerly and currently incarcerated folks, and anyone else affected by the prison industrial complex.  We believe stories help break down barriers and highlight our commonalities. Hosted by Alfred, Lizette, and José.
