On Episode 6 of the Houses on the Moon Podcast, we share Zudaydah Rivera’s true tale from Houses on the Moon’s SHARED SENTENCES, a storytelling project with people who have incarcerated loved ones.

Zudaydah was just 4 years old when she first visited her father in a maximum security prison. In her story, “Zudaydah with a Backwards Z”, she struggles to help her young son deal with the imprisonment of his father, and face her own complicated relationship with mass incarceration. We also speak with Zudaydah and Prison Families Anonymous co-founder Barbara Allan about their lives, work, and involvement in SHARED SENTENCES.
