Season 2, 13: The Way Back

With(in)

In the first episode of Season 2 of With(in), "The Way Back", we begin by sharing a bit about our team's journey over the past two years, creating Season 2 of With(in)-- virtually -- during the Covid19 pandemic, across three prisons in the Colorado Department of Corrections. We then share glimpses of the Season to come in a trailer of the upcoming episodes, introducing an incredible lineup of interviews to come. Then, incarcerated co-hosts Denise Presson and Andrew Draper delve into their personal lives over the last two years. Andrew speaks about grappling with the hard subjects from Season One, his illness and subsequent diagnosis. Denise describes the weight of her responsibility as a voice for incarcerated women, and maintaining the incredible trust that has been placed upon her as a co-host of With(in). Finally, With(in) Producer Terry W. Mosley Jr. gets a chance to sit down with Colorado Department of Corrections’ Executive Director Dean Williams. Mr. Williams talks about his anticipation of entering Season One as well as his takeaways from it. He continues with his excitement about the direction for Season Two, and his continued hope to humanize prisons. In an exciting shift, all recording, producing and mastery of Season 2 of With(in) was done inside of prison.
