Inside prison, as well as out, some of us cling to stuff and some of us let go. In this episode: two cell-block neighbors engage in a gentle dispute, Tony attempts to Marie Kondo his future from inside prison, and Mesro won\u2019t have his keepsakes disrespected.

Thanks to our colleagues and collaborators inside San Quentin \u2014 Carrington, Mesro, Sadiq, and Tony \u2014 for talking to us about their stuff, and to Tony\u2019s Uncle Eric for welcoming us into his home. \xa0

This episode was scored with music by David Jassy, Antwan Williams, E. Phil Phillips, Rhashiyd Zinnamon, Gregory Dixon, and Earlonne Woods.

Big thanks to Acting Warden Andes and Lt. Berry at San Quentin State Prison, and Acting Warden Parker, Associate Warden Lewis, and Lt. Newborg at the California Institution for Women for their support of the show.
