Friendships presuppose trust, but in prison  you can't trust anyone. In this episode, Randy explores the contradictory nature of prisoners' interactions with one another. Should you trust or not trust? Should you guard  against opening up or should you allow others to come close enough to form friendships? "We need to be human," says Randy, explaining how it's possible to "have friendships without being friends." We might ask ourselves a question:. "Are they really my friend? Do I trust them? Would we have each other's back?"Red Onion Randy features  the life and times of Randall Via, who is currently serving 1,214 years in Red Onion State Prison for capital murder.
