(www.prisonradio.org) Prison Radio's mission is to challenge unjust police and prosecutorial practices which result in mass incarceration, racism, and gender discrimination by airing the voices of men and women victimized by an unjust criminal justice system. We believe that when a person's humanity is recognized, the public is able to make more informed choices on the direction of public policy. We do this by bringing their voices into the public dialogue on crime and punishment.

Our radio broadcasts help spur the public to examine core issues that create crime and heighten disenfranchisement. Our educational materials serve as a catalyst for public activism, strengthening movements for social change. Prison Radio's productions illustrate the perspectives and the intrinsic human worth of the more than 7.1 million people under correctional control in the U.S, and those not served by the justice system.

The writers who will be featured at Opednews by Prison Radio include Mumia Abu-Jamal, Noelle Hanrahan, and Hans Bennett. The author of a piece will be credited.

The Torture of Mumia Abu-Jamal Continues off Death Row --Supporters Demand Transfer to General Population
(1 comments) After being transferred from death row in December, Mumia was put in "the hole' at SCI Mahanoy's "Restrictive Housing Unit,' where the conditions are actually more restrictive than when he was on death row. Supporters, including the National Lawyers Guild (for whom Mumia serves as Vice President) who has set up an online petition, are calling for his immediate transfer to general population.
