In Episode 7 of the Turn Around Podcast, Holley recounts more stories of his time in lock-up and how he navigated the dangers of the prison system and being away from his family. Squirt lends insight on being institutionalized from a young age and how it still impacts him to this day.

As always, Squirt's stories are raw and candid about the trials of a misguided young man who wasn't yet convinced of his potential or where his life would lead him. In his heart, basketball remains his saving grace and the way out - even if he didn't know it at the time.
