关于这个播客 🔗
Prisoncast! is a show made with and for people in Illinois prisons and jails, and their loved ones on the outside. We feature stories, investigations, interviews, and sounds from beyond prison walls – all requested by our incarcerated listeners. Each episode is a bite-sized bundle of some of our favorites. Take a glimpse inside a carceral system that’s designed to be invisible. Engage us at prisoncast@wbez.org. Listen free in prisons and jails on the Edovo app.
