Stay Free Forever
Stay Free Forever is a monthly podcast aimed at helping people, especially those who are currently and formerly justice-involved, to remain free and avoid incarceration or re-incarceration. We do this by talking about replacing risky thinking and behavior with sound, positive pro-social choices. Each discussion is guided by former corrections and parole officer Clifford Fewel, a journalist, writer, speaker and owner of the cognitive behavioral education company Stay Free Forever LLC.
