We take for granted the objects that we use everyday.  We never stop to think about where they come from, or what perspective they would have of the life they live. This episode is entitled Object Lessons.  Each piece today is written from the perspective of a particular object.  Some are everyday objects, while others may be specific to the experiences residents have had either before their incarceration, or while in secure care.  Stories from Zeak, The Architect, KBone, Lyric, TANK, Yours Truly, Spark Of Courage, Low Key, The Street Lawyer, Illusion Of Reality and Rocky.  This episode is hosted by Viscious.  Thanks for downloading!
