About this episode

The episode explores Suave's life on parole and the limitations it imposes on his freedom.

Suave can’t drink. He can’t smoke weed. He can’t travel. He can’t visit old prison friends, or basically have any interaction with the police. And that’s because even though he’s free, he’s on parole for a lifetime. In other words he’s just serving his prison sentence on the outside. Sometimes all these rules make Suave ask himself, “Will I ever really be free?” Season 2 of Suave was made possible by The Mellon Foundation.
