Righteously Rewired

Osvaldo has been in and out of prison since 13 years old, and has not spent one consecutive year out of prison since. He is now 49 years old. On our first episode of Released, Osvaldo shares his post-incarceration story, including how he finds meaning, how his communication skills have developed since prison, and how a simple please and thank you can go a long way. In February of 2022, it will be Osvaldo’s one year anniversary.  Have a question that you would like featured in a future episode? Email releasedpod@gmail.com Thank you for listening.

Meet Released

Released brings you the unfiltered realities and self-told narratives of formerly incarcerated individuals, during their post-incarceration years. The podcast is hosted and produced by Abigail Guziewicz, a full-time volunteer at Homeboy Industries, and Edin Madrid, who was tried as an adult at the age of sixteen and served fourteen years behind bars. Brought to you out of Homeboy Industries, the largest gang reentry and rehabilitation program in the world, Abby and Edin come together to give people the chance to have the mic and tell their stories, from their own perspective.  Episodes offer a view of people's lived experiences both inside and outside of prison, and the barriers faced by reentry.
