HANDCUFFS OFF EPISODE 7 - SIMEON DUGGINS
Rise Uniting People for Progress presents "Handcuffs Off", hosted by Jihad Siddiq, featuring segments by Marcellus Morris, Chenequa Rogers and Toni Brown.

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.

Todays interview is with Simeon Duggins who has been incarcerated for almost 25 years in New York State. He has transformed and elevated his life through his art and is currently fighting for liberation. He says he has changed his prison cell into a University, a chance to reflect on his life through hard introspection. 

You can see his TedxTalk titled "Life Is Beautiful" Live from SingSing on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2ZAmMAUDCQ  

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.
