Welcome to Women of the Hour. Today we have a bonus episode for you continuing on this week's theme of Entrapment.

Here at Women of the Hour we tend to really focus on people who identify as female, but it's equally important to get into the hearts and minds of men, maybe now or than ever.

So today we're going to be sharing a really, really special piece called I Love You. For a lot of people saying I love you comes easily.

For example, I've been known to say it when getting off the phone with customer service, but for some people, particularly men, it's a crazy challenge.

Think about the way they've been conditioned to be strong, to be tough, to push their motions to the side.

For incarcerated men, trying to say I love you to another man, well, that's a horse of a different color.

I'm playing up acoustic bass guitar at San Quinn's Tickrism.

And I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I did not grow up hearing the words I love you.

I don't remember my mother saying it, but she was affectionate. She always wanted to kiss you and hug you and I used to hate that.

I've accepted it wasn't shared in my family that often. The word loves and feeling of love and being loved, shown love.

I heard the words, but I didn't actually understand what love meant. It really didn't matter for me.

No, we never said that in our family. Like you said in our house, so we never even said that to each other.

But the new love was there. My name is legend Brooks. My name is Louis A. Scott. My name is Lionel Scott.

My name is Antoine Williams. And I've been incarcerated 10 years and I've been in San Quinn for five.

In the household I grew up in, love was always the term love was always attached. I love you so much. I hit you.

Or because I love you, you make me crazy. I do this because I love you.

I grew up cold. I grew up very cold. Very unaffected and very distant. And now I have a son.

That was one of the strong points that my mother and father had to offer us because they were come from a really poor family.

And I think by them always assuring us that we were loved. What's a unique thing?

Any more of my daughter makes you that?

No, not in my household. Not in my household. I heard a lot of violence, a lot of arguing, a lot of fights, you know.

I grew up in the project so my community is different kind of infections you was getting. It was a hate infection.
