In this episode, the girls of Sending Messages talk about lessons that they have learned. Experiences that have been tough to deal with but ones that have undoubtedly taught them something. Stories, poems, and songs by Nickle Walnut, Bonnie, Freddy, and Sage. This episode was hosted by Freddy.

In this episode, Ghetti, Barbie, and Bonnie are joined by their staff member Jorge to discuss how communication, boundaries, race, friendships, trauma, and keeping the peace can get mixed up when you live side by side with people you don't get along with.

In this episode, Freddy, Ghetti, and Diamond answer questions about their families, the frustrations of being incarcerated, mistakes they have made, and their hopes for the future.

Fear and Nightmares impact incarcerated youth differently than it does other young people. You wake up in the middle of the night to find out you have just entered a new bad dream of lock up. You relive the same mistakes and regrets over and over. In this episode, stories, poetry, and conversations about nightmares are written, performed, and produced by Velli, Bonnie, Boots, Diamond, Freddy, Ghetti, Hazel, and Sage. Thanks for listening.

This year the students in Sending Messages tried to make a holiday podcast, but didn't really get too far. Instead, enjoy poetry and letters about loss, lockup, and love from AktivE, Tina, Static, Scar, and C-Dot, as well as conversations featuring Virtuosity, AktivE, Static, Phoenix, C-Dot, G-Man, and Ruthless. This episode was mixed and hosted by Phoenix. Happy Holidays.
