Listen live online at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/familylifebehindbars or by calling (347) 326-9981.  We definitely want this to be an audience driven discussion so we highly encourage you to call in to ask Dr. Kessaris your question.  If you would like advice or have a question during the show, simply dial (347) 326-9981, press 1 on your phone and wait to be patched in.  Keep in mind that the number is a New York number so your phone company may charge long distance fees.  If you would like a question asked during the show, please leave your question in the comment section below and I will be sure to get it answered.

UPDATE: We have added another guest for tomorrow nights show and his name is Darryl King.  King served over 20 years behind bars and was released in 1993.  He’ll be talking about his transition from the cell to society and the struggles he had to overcome.
