## Resource

Our brother Todd, a 60 year old surgeon, was arrested while crossing the Mexican border, accused of "weapons trafficking" for one magazine and a few shotgun shells which may have been in his truck. In jail he's been beaten, defended, neglected, befriended, and abused, but he's never been abandoned—we visit him every week. For six months, his lawyers have been saying he'll be out any day now. We're making this podcast to tell his story and ours.
