I am always interested in prison mentality. More specifically those that are immature or are not ready to take responsibility. I’ll never fully understand their way of thinking. Great interviews and openness of their stories.

This podcast is so important and so well done. We all should learn more about mass incarceration in our country and what happens afterwards. This podcast is filled with beautiful conversations and a real glimpse into the human beings behind the statistics. Thank you!

What a refreshing take on incarceration and prison life. I never knew how to access stories about the inside, and every major news or media outlet portrays prison in such a current timeframe, but this detailed, thoughtful approach to allowing formerly incarcerated peoples tell their own stories...Read full review »

This is the next Year Hustle. Life on the Outside is heart-warming and engaging. With over two million US Citizens in jail, we should know a little bit more about their lives!!

Lucy has done an awesome job with this show. Top-notch production! And the thumbnail art is reminiscent of a bench that one might find at a dog park which is a plus.
alextermorgan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/13/18
This show is really well done, from the powerful and succinct interviews to the sound effects and quality. It’s not often that we get to hear and learn from people who have gone through such difficult and unique experiences. Keep it up!
ZombiErin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/13/18
I have had family members who have gone through this and who ended up back in the system over and over- to know that there is a program such as this and that it is making a difference in their lives is wonderful! Thank you for sharing these stories Lucy!

A glimpse into human lives often stripped of their humanity. Moving and enriching and absolutely necessary storytelling, especially right now. I greatly appreciate this podcast being a part of my regular listening! Excellent and informed job.
ZtotheD via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/18
It is so fascinating to hear about what life is like when you're released from prison after thinking that you'll never get out. You come to realize how much non-incarcerated people take for granted. Such a great job! Can't wait to hear moreRead full review »
