Life on the Outs

A collage of voices, some hopeful, some not, musing over the prospect of getting out of prison. Most seem to have a new found respect for family, and the simple things that make up a day, spending time with siblings, dressing how you want to, choosing when you eat etc. Unfortunately it is rare to hear from young voices like these anywhere, including public radio, which is a shame; this series could remedy that, at least a little bit, as it provides great material to build a talk show around.
