To submit a story or send a tip or link, visit www.zeoboekbinder.com/podcast The show is on hiatus while I search for more stories to share. I sat on these four episodes for years because I wanted to have more before release. Eventually I just had to release them and hope that, in doing so, more stories would come my way. If you want to learn more about holistic justice / non-punitive justice, here is some suggested reading: We Do This 'Til We Free Us by Mariame Kaba Beyond Survival edited by Ejeris Dixon and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha Are Prisons Obsolete? by Angela Y.

Episode 4: Stacey Ann Lannert

Listener discretion advised: references to child sexual abuse, gun violence, rape, and death. There are no detailed descriptions. When Stacey was 18 years old, she shot and killed her father who had been sexually abusing her for many years. The night she shot him he had just abused her little sister for the first time. She was convicted of murder and sentenced to life without parole. Her story is powerful. She wrote a memoir, called Redemption, which is available anywhere books are sold. Here is a link to her book on goodreads [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10739604]. To submit a story for the podcast, visit https://zeoboekbinder.com/podcast [https://zeoboekbinder.com/podcast]

Episode 3: Jane and the Stranger

Listener discretion advised: description of violent attack and rape. Skip to 5:38 to avoid the most graphic part of the description. Jane Piper survived something so rare and horrific, an attack by a total stranger. Being a survivor led her down a path of learning about forgiveness and repair from harm. She started to volunteer in prison, working with men who had committed similar violence to what she endured.

Episode 2: Rachel and Zaadii

Listener Discretion Advised: there is a description of a car accident, resulting injuries, and the death of a child.  In 2015 Rachel and two of her kids were hit by a distracted driver. Her 3 year-old son, Zaadii, was killed. Rachel asked the woman who was driving the car to enter into a Navajo Peacemaking process, which brought them face-to-face. This is a powerful story about loss and forgiveness.  To listen to or purchase Jonah Littlesunday's song, Zaadii's Dance, visit https://canyonrecords.bandcamp.com/track/zaadii-s-dance [https://canyonrecords.bandcamp.com/track/zaadii-s-dance] To learn more about Sihasin, the band behind the song at the end of the episode: https://sihasin.com/sihasin-qr-page/ Thomas Walker, the peacemaker, has offered that anyone with questions about peacemaking can email him.
