In this episode, Sam looks back at our very first episode, a conversation with Rick Raemisch. At the time of this episode's original release, Rick was the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Corrections, but he has since retired.  Listen in as they discuss the importance of humanizing incarcerated men and women to advance their rehabilitation and the health of the community.
