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.
This is a good view into the soul of a young man who made a tremendous mistake, and it works because he's got a good voice, and it's well-produced. He's still reliving what he did on his last night of freedom, and while he was recounting the encounter that led him to juvenile prison, I got caught up in the excitement of what he had to say. This is the first time I've heard a diary piece from a young man in jail, and I think I could have listened to more from him about what he thinks about where he is today.
