Kite Line #10: Yes, In My Back Yard

Listen and Download Here

Welcome to the YIMBY episode: Yes In My Backyard. We focus on some positive projects in our area that affect those experiencing incarceration, addiction, and poverty. We have updates on the National Prison Strike, read a letter from an inmate in the Monroe County Jail, and hear letters from prisoners requesting friends in the form of penpals. We speak with volunteers from the Indiana Prisoners Writing Project, the Indiana Recovery Alliance, New Leaf – New Life, and The Midwest Pages to Prisoners Project. What they have in common is a commitment to saying yes to difference, yes to solving difficult problems, and yes to transformation.

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.
