August 16, 2023 Growing Up On Death Row AT 17 - Session 34 - Giving Back Is A Beautiful Thing
Send us a text
Those who have been incarcerated come out of prison knowing that certain members of society are watching them and judging them. But for Bryan Seddens and many of those whom he was released with, there is a sense of wanting to give back to the communities where they weren't always at their best. And now they are in position to do right and be positive role models in those same places. Listen to an example of this on this episode of Growing Up On Death Row At 17.

August 07, 2023 Growing Up On Death Row At 17 - Session 33 - Sometimes It's Better To Just Walk Away
Send us a text
Spending 31 years in "the coffin" as Bryan Seddens calls it, taught him that there is only so much a person can do. And though he would like to help as many young people as he can stay on the right path, he also knows that it is better to walk away because these days it's so hard to gauge a person's heart and mindset. Hear how he handles this and more on this episode of Growing Up On Death Row At 17!

July 23, 2023 Growing Up On Death Row At 17 - Session 32 - Our Kids Are On Their Own
Send us a text
Years ago, children knew that when the street light came on no matter what neighborhood they were in, they better be on the porch or in the house - period. It's sad to say but the old streetlight rule no longer has meaning. For Bryan Seddens, this is disheartening because he knows all too well that when there are no rules, no structure or boundaries, our youth can end up in one of two places - prison, like he did or worse - dead. Listen to this episode of Growing Up On Death Row At 17 to hear Bryan's assessments of how society has turned its back on our youth!

June 30, 2023 Growing Up On Death Row At 17 - Session 31 - Controlled Movement and Institutionalized Thinking
Send us a text
When your every move and sometimes thoughts are in the hands of others, it can be a humbling thing. In prison, it's called "Controlled Movement" and after spending 31 years incarcerated for a crime that he didn't commit, Bryan Seddens knows it when he sees it, even in the free world. This podcast highlights how the way you are trained to move in prison doesn't immediately leave you once you're released. And can be passed along to your loved ones without you even knowing it!
