This episode, we look at memories. For many in lockup, memories can be a painful thing, when we sit and reminisce about the mistakes we have made, and the choices that hurt others. But memories can also be a release, a way to calm our minds, and heal. We hear stories from KBone, Logic, Mizz Dre, Trial By Tears, and a song from The Hatter. Hosted by The Architect.
