<p>Amika Mota was a young mother, a midwife, and the daughter of a feminist icon. One night she caused a fatal crash that would separate her from her family and brand her as a criminal. </p><p>Trapped inside prison, looking for any way out, she gets the call to join an all-female crew of incarcerated firefighters. When the alarm sounds, they drive out into the community on fire trucks as heroes – pulling bodies from crash scenes, saving lives and fighting fire. Every call brings her the chance to reclaim the world she lost. </p><p>Follow Fire Escape on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Uncuffed is a podcast from KALW Public Media that empowers people in prison to tell their own stories. The award-winning collaboration between incarcerated student producers and professional journalists shines light on the human experience of people before, during and after their prison terms. This season, for the first time, the show will include voices from a women's prison, the California Institution for Women, while continuing to share stories from inside the San Quentin Rehabilitation Center and Solano State Prison. The new season 4 is hosted by formerly incarcerated producer Greg Eskridge.
