Unconfined was birthed from a desire to inform the majority of the population who have never experienced the inside of the criminal justice system as well as to provide help and hope to the 10.6 million individuals who will be entering the U.S. criminal justice system each year. Stephen Taylor, a privileged rich kid, learns as a young teenager that he can make good money selling drugs to support a party lifestyle. Then, a chance encounter with a well-dressed guest at a party in Austin, Texas, results in Stephen becoming a mule for a Mexican drug cartel. Unconfined chronicles the true story of Stephen's arrest and incarceration for nearly 9 years in federal prison for a nonviolent drug crime. The story showcases what it is really like to go to federal prison in America and sheds light on what it is like to love someone who is in prison. Stephen's dad, Skip, is forced to rethink everything he thought he knew about crime and justice when his own son is imprisoned. Unconfined tells the first-hand account through the eyes of Stephen and Skip - and shares the transformational power of faith to overcome anger, grief, and shame. No matter how dark the future seems, God can use one's circumstance for good.
