Full Show March 26, 2024

This is the first episode of Prison Radio Show’s new series on the mass incarceration of Palestinians by Israel into Israeli prisons.  On today’s show we feature an interview with Raed Amer, the president of the Palestinian Prisoner Society, / sometimes translated as the Palestinian Prisoner’s Club Association is an independent, national, humanitarian, social, and popular association founded on September 27, 1993 that assists Palestinian prisoners inside and their families as well as assists with reintegration into society once those inside are released. The idea of establishing it was crystallized inside Israeli occupation prisons by Palestinian prisoners and is an extension and integral part of the Palestinian prisoner movement. The end of the show featured audio from a prisoner currently incarcerated on the island of Montreal, sharing songs he wrote and a message from the inside.

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.
