NFTW (25) - Throwing Heat And Finding A Dead Guy Under The Bunk

Bobby and mama c talk art and creativity. Artists require space; mental, physical, and emotional space in order to be creative, and prison puts a giant choke hold on all of these things. Prison stifles creativity, so it's rare to find someone who can rise above it. Bobby meets another artist in prison, Justin, and the two of them quickly form a bond and get to work creating. Justin's book American Inmate is out and can be found just about anywhere, so please check it out. https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2181-american-inmate You can read more about Bobby and prison reform on our website:   notesfromthepen.com And check out the GoFundMe to help with Bobby’s new start  https://www.gofundme.com/f/j3khzk-help-for-a-new-start Twitter: https://twitter.com/NotesFromThePen Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CJYuOh4pKxa/?igshid=y8lo9kbdifvq    Shout-out to JD and Ashely Bell for all their behind the scenes support. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/r-caldwell/message

Breaking down the stereotypes of drug addicts. The creative writing piece Bobby has been working on - The Clinic - is nearing the end of edits. The Clinic is about the tumultuous dance between a drug addict and the cold embrace of a meth clinic (and everything in-between). A true love-hate relationship. It starts out at a meth clinic in South Florida - the waiting room for rock bottom...and ends up at one of the most magical places on earth - The Mouse. The road to get there, and the ending, is anything but enchanting.  You can read more about Bobby and prison reform on our website:  notesfromthepen.com Support our show https://www.patreon.com/user?u=56777802 it allows us to create these podcasts.

Co-host JD is on a well deserved 2 week vacation with the family, and the prison phone system sucks, so we're using an oldie but goodie throwback this week. EP #42 - Stanhope is the reason for an increase of international followers of our podcast, he's an artist and not writing bits as much as releasing steam. Plus, prison food is loaded with so much sodium Bobby can salt the entire state for the winter, Asian stereotypes, and drunk dialing for a Korean dad.   You can read more about Bobby and prison reform on our website:   notesfromthepen.com   Support our show https://www.patreon.com/user?u=56777802 it allows us to create these podcasts.
