Full Show January 13, 2022

This show featured audio from three prisoners. First up we featured audio from Muti Ajamu-Osagboro, an inside correspondent from Pennsylvania. He read a speech he gave as part of a one day conference called Freedom: Land & Abolition that happened in November 2021. Then we spoke with Christophe Lewis, whose blog freedomisamust.net has been featured on the show before. Christophe talked to us about the release of a video earlier in the year that showed guards beating him up in 2012. The video release resulted in one of the guards being charged with assault and we talked about how Christophe felt about the situation now. Finally, we shared more audio from Lucas who is currently incarcerated in Bordeaux prison. Lucas shares news about the situation in Bordeaux as of early January 2022.

Prison Radio has been on the air in Montreal for more than a decade. The show seeks to confront the invisibility of prisons and prisoner struggle, by focusing on the roots of incarceration, policing, and criminalization, and by challenging ideas about what prisons are and who ends up inside. Prison Radio is dedicated to programming that is directly collaborative with people who are currently incarcerated. This is in the interest of forging stronger ties between incarcerated and non-incarcerated people, ensuring that prisoners have direct control over their representation, and that our understandings of prisons be informed by those who live inside their walls.
