Today's interviews are with Chris who is currently serving in Cayuga Correctional Facility. He talks about his youth and his road to incarceraton and what he is doing now to transform his life into someone who is ready to be released and be a present and supportive part of his family and community and live a life in his purpose.

The second interview is with CEO and founder of OG's Against Violence Clifford Ryan.
OG's stands for Our Generation and he talks about how he is building an organization that serves the youth of Syracuse, where they are and how he connects to them on a personal level to inspire them to make good choices for their future.

Handcuffs Off is raw, riveting and honest.
It doesn't glorify or sensationalize incarceration, Jihad will be speaking candidly with folks who served over two decades in prison and have honest conversations on the effect of long term incarceration and how we can help folks avoid the trap of cycling in and out of the justice system.

If you want to know the truth, the secrets of navigating the criminal justice system and hear exclusive interviews of people who have beat the odds and are out in society helping to make a difference, listen to Handcuffs Off.
