On this week’s episode, we explore the extremely difficult subject of domestic violence. Denise, Draper, and Ashley first speak with Jamiylah Nelson, a resident of Denver Women’s Correctional facility serving a life without parole sentence. Jamiylah shares her story of being in an abusive relationship and how she’s come to recognize the type of love she deserves. Later, we speak with Robert Hill, who is serving a life plus 48-years sentence at the Denver Reception and Diagnostic Center. Robert reflects on the violence he inflicted on his partner as a young father struggling with identity issues. He explains that by doing the difficult work of exploring and learning to articulate his emotions, he has found healthier ways to communicate how he feels to others. Domestic Violence resources can be found on our website.
