@RadioForJustice 6/6 These are throwback photos from Limon and Denver Women’s Correctional Facilities (both by MeiLi Smith) - and, more recently, with Herbert and Seth at the studio at Youth on Record.
...Onward! @RadioForJustice

Updates! In summer 2023, Inside Wire: Colorado Prison Radio operations paused. That’s because the partnership between the DU Prison Arts Initiative and the Colorado Department of Corrections abruptly ended. That also meant the end of my job at DU, and others’ jobs too... > 🧵

@RadioForJustice 5/6 Oh and Zach has been key too — he’s the therapist I’m glad I found here in Denver last winter (when the calendar turned and it didn’t all magically go away or feel resolved and I realized I needed to try to talk to a professional). We worked together February through July.
