Episode 31: Mercedes
Saturday, 24 August, 2024

Christina speaks with Mercedes about the life she's created with her husband, who is incarcerated in San Diego and serving a sentence of life without parole. Mercedes' perspective shows how difficult it can be to navigate the nuances of loving someone behind bars and coming to terms with the reality of their crime - balancing being in love with that person and simultaneously experiencing strong feelings of empathy for the victim and their loved ones.***Written and produced by Christina HansenAdditional production and sound editing by Jason Sissoyev***If you or someone you know has a story to share or if you'd like to drop me a note, send an email to: pennedpodcast@gmail.com
