Episode notes

The chapter follows a woman helping a man escape to a lakeside cabin in Tennessee, leading to various outings but also feelings of fear and vulnerability. It narrates a high-speed chase on a highway, resulting in a dramatic crash, and the emotional toll of the aftermath. It delves into the narrator's prison experience, relationships formed, post-prison life, and the complexities of reconnecting with the man she helped escape.

“I never did anything wrong. I never had a speeding ticket. I think I just saved all my stuff up for just one thing.” We speak with Toby Dorr, who started a prison dog training program in 2004. That’s how she met John Manard.

This episode was originally released in 2019.
