The Bureau of Prisons makes it deliberately hard to interview federal inmates. In the case of political prisoners like Leonard Peltier, they make it even harder. But in this episode, we get around all their procedural barricades and finally speak with Leonard himself—about his health, his hopes, and his future. We also interview Kevin Sharp, the lawyer petitioning the Trump Administration to grant Leonard clemency. And we talk with two of Leonard’s close friends: Lenny Foster, Leonard’s long-time spiritual adviser who’s brought healing to more than 1,500 imprisoned Native Americans; and Connie Nelson, the filmmaker and activist (and former wife of Willie Nelson) who's been advocating for Leonard’s release since the 1980s.
