Episode 12 | Letter to a Maryland State Correctional Facility

Lunchbreak Podcast

03/13/23 • 60 min

“It was like God sent me that letter.”

-Riyan at the 26:09 mark.

The Lunchroom officially became the visitation room as the guys sat down with Riyan to discuss the last 17 years he’s spent in a max security state penitentiary.

On the date of this episode releasing (3/13/23), Riyan will go before the parole board. The Lunchbreakers, the Juice Crü, and our entire extended community are sending positive energy and collective prayer up for Riyan, who sacrificed time he could’ve used to prepare, to instead share his experiences, remorse, and wisdom with our listeners.

Sip a little slower today knowing you have your freedom. We can’t wait for Riyan to get a taste of his again 🧃
