Longtime listeners might remember a special episode of the podcast inviting listeners to a wedding inside San Quentin. In 2022, one of the producers from our original San Quentin cohort, Edmond Richardson, married the love of his life, Avelina. Today, all six of the members of that first cohort have been released from prison. Edmond came home late last year, and so much has happened since that episode of the podcast aired three years ago. We're re-airing this popular episode while we take a short break. And you’ll want to stick around until the end to hear a very special update from Edmond and Avelina.
Uncuffed will be back with brand new episodes on June 19.

It’s no secret that the food inside prison is – to put it mildly – not great. That’s why folks in prison often daydream about memorable meals from their pasts, and find creative ways to make their own food inside their cells. Today on the episode, host Greg Eskridge goes to his first Thanksgiving dinner in over 30 years. We’ll hear about the magic of a shared meal and how it can bridge divides in and outside of prison.

As a little kid, Anthony Ivy thought to himself, “When I grow up, I want to be a hustler.” He got what he wanted, but he also ended up in prison. Eventually, that same drive led him to a brand new hustle on the outside. This time, it’s legal. This week, we’re handing over the mic to Ivy. He’ll share his story and tell you about an amazing Uncuffed Program you may not have heard about — the Uncuffed Playlist.
To listen to the full Uncuffed DJ sets, visit our Youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/@weareuncuffed
The Uncuffed Playlist recently lost funding, and we need your support keep the program going. Can you pitch in to keep incarcerated DJs on the air? Learn more and donate at www.uncuffed.org.

What happens when you want to change your name, and the person behind it? This week, Uncuffed shares stories about all the things we’re called — nicknames, gang names, names meant to hurt us, or names meant to take our identity away — and what it means to get rid of that old self and call ourselves something else.

The ‘90s were a pivotal time in California history, and people in prisons are still living with the consequences. That decade, California incarcerated more than 60,000 people, many of them Black men. Some of those people are still living inside California prisons, including a few of our Uncuffed producers. In this episode, Uncuffed goes back in time -- to the early '90s, to talk about life changing moments like the LA Riots, the unforgettable music, and the rage that came out of it all.

A message from Uncuffed alum Anthony Ivy:
After 12 years behind bars, I’m now living life on the outside, navigating this new chapter. Since getting out, I’ve been hired and mentored by Uncuffed. I’m currently enrolled in KALW’s Audio Academy program and an Uncuffed audio engineering class. I’m also working as an associate producer for the DJ Uncuffed Playlist. This program has been life-changing. It’s the best thing I did on the inside to prepare myself for life on the outside. That’s why I’m encouraging people to support Uncuffed. It’s not just a program—it’s a bridge to success for people both inside and out.
If you want to be part of that change, go to http://www.KALW.org/Uncuffed/donate.
As a thank you for our listeners, we’re dropping this bonus episode with one of the first stories I did with Uncuffed. -
