This is a truly nifty piece of radio--the voices are powerful and specific. it raises a question that pertians generally, and it manages to capture the experience of incarceration without sentimentality. All it needs is some kind of intro to set the scene--explain who is doing the recording and under what circumstances.

This piece is a good introduction to a larger series from Blunt Youth Radio on incarcerated teens. Good radio production takes the listener into the minds of young people who have made bad decisions or have been in bad situations, and asks the simple question: "What is freedom?" The answers are human, and the fact that these young men had the opportunity to speak their minds maybe offers me hope for their futures.
