Kite Line #7: National Prison Strike Updates

Listen and Download Here

This week on Kite Line, we follow up on what’s happening nationally and internationally in regards to actions for the National Prison strike, both on the inside and outside. We talk to a supporter of Kara Wild, a US trans woman who is currently being held indefinitely in a French jail. We report on call-in requests from various prisoners who are asking for outside support, as well as hear about a “riot” in the jail near Evansville, Indiana. We read solidarity statements from Greece and Canada, and hear a bit about Henry Green, a 23 year old man in Columbus, Ohio, who was killed by the local police.

Kite Line is a radio program devoted to prison issues around the Midwest and beyond. Behind the prison walls, a message is called a kite: whispered words, a note passed hand to hand, or a request submitted to the guards for medical care. Illicit or not, sending a kite means trusting that other people will bear it farther along till it reaches its destination. On the show, we hope to pass along words across the prison walls.
