Looking good and feeling good matters just as much on the inside, as on the outside. But in prison, you can't just walk to the barbershop, or stop by the store for the products you need, to accomplish either. In this episode, guys share their favorite workarounds that help them feel more human in prison, both physically and mentally.

Thanks to David Jassy, Wall Street, Jason Jones, Jesse Vasquez, Andres Yancey, Lady Jae, Eric Durr, George “Mesro” Coles-El and Nicola Bucci for sharing their workaround stories. This episode included music by David Jassy, Lee Jasper and Antwan Williams. Here's a transcript for “The Workaround,” and you can download the episode here.
