Jihad Siddiq did 28 years in prison for murder before changing his life and becoming a productive, law abiding citizen, a mentor, youth advocate, Projects Manager for the Rise UP organization.

On the inaugural episode of Handcuffs Off, Mr Siddiq interviews Leona Rose who served 22 years in NY State prison for murder. 
She talks about her life after incarceration and what she has accomplished since returning home.

The CEO and founder of Regn 4Life Marcellus Morris also speaks on our initiative to help combat gun violence in our communities.

Handcuffs Off is raw, riveting and honest.
It doesn't glorify or sensationalize incarceration, Jihad will be speaking candidly with folks who served over two decades in prison and have honest conversations on the effect of long term incarceration and how we can help folks avoid the trap of cycling in and out of the justice system.

If you want to know the truth, the secrets of navigating the criminal justice system and hear exclusive interviews of people who have beat the odds and are out in society helping to make a difference, listen to Handcuffs Off.
