“This is one of my favorites of all time it’s like I walked the whole process through with you all! I am so happy that you shared this experience and I hope that many more people will be helped and released to have a second chance at life especially since they were children at the time.”

“I binged the whole season of Suave today and all I can say is WOW! As a criminal justice professional who works in Pennsylvania and taught a juvenile Justice class at DePaul University in Chicago for 7 years, I was not surprised by a lot but very happy for such a storybook outcome. People do not...”Read full review »

“I’m a bit late to this podcast but I’m so glad I found it. What a guy. So impressed by his humility and courage. Not many people could come back from such a horrible place. Did Angie face consequences for lying about the assault? I knew Suave didn’t hit her. Congratulations to all on your Pulitzer.”

I also see how drugs are destroying so many lives!! This is where this story started and that’s what I wish the focus was on!! This drug...”Read full review »

“Joining Suave on his journey has opened my eyes up to the harsh realities of the criminal justice system, especially for minors. However, I am inspired by Suave’s relentlessness and the dedication of these women journalists to tell his story and those of thousands others.”

“I love how it tells just 1 boy/ man perspective on being a “lifer” to being released 30 plus years later. It has helped me to better understand what young colored boys/ men who are in jail have or are going through. It puts a spotlight on a major problem in the USA. The only reason why its not 5...”Read full review »
