Have you ever wondered what it feels like to take your first breath of freedom after being incarcerated? Come, journey with us, as we explore the captivating narrative of James, a man newly freed from seven years behind bars. In this stirring episode, we explore the exhilarating and daunting experiences of his first day out, from navigating modern technology to tackling the list of tasks set by his Aunt Sue and Mentor, Tommy Thomas.

Experiencing the world through James's eyes, we unlock the unfathomable joys in the smallest of things, like hot showers and fresh coffee, that are privileges to him after all these years. We delve into his surprising welcome at Tommy's luxurious house and the heartwarming support from his local church, which becomes his beacon of hope. Woven in are the insightful experiences of his parole journey, the daily struggles of staying out of jail, and his paradoxical relationship with his parole officer.

But our journey doesn't end there. James takes us with him to an unexpected avenue - the world of fine dining in Birmingham. As he learns to navigate this new world, he discovers more than just a means to pay his restitution fines. We also touch upon his struggle to get a gun permit and the surprising kindness he encounters in his journey. Join us for this heartrending episode, and stay tuned as we continue to unravel James's life lessons since his release.
