    Demetrius Hooker has a great support system - his wife Shnette and their four children. Also, his cousin Dr. Samada Randels. But from a legal support, he has no one working to help him gain his freedom after having spent more than 30 years incarcerated. In late 1991, Demetrius was arrested for a murder that he didn't commit and though he's since received written affidavits proving his innocence, up until now, nothing has been done.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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!

    Send us a text

    Bryan Seddens is doing something few people get to do - re-writing his story. Because he was locked up at 16 and many people lost track of him while he was incarcerated for 31 years, they only know what they see him doing now: giving speeches, co-hosting a podcast and working every day.  Listen to Bryan's recent encounter with a group of young girls and how he is trying to help them on this edition of Growing Up On Death Row At 17.
