When most people think of prison, it is possibly the last place they would consider to be the birthplace of meaningful, supportive relationships. Yet for many incarcerated men and women, prison can be an incubator for even the most unlikely of friendships. Cullen Thomas experienced this when he was sent away to a South Korean prison for buying drugs. Now an accomplished writer, Cullen examines and discusses his unexpected friendship with a fellow prisoner with someone who knows all about the subject, our host Billy Sinclair. A must-listen.
