MIM Notes #227       February 1, 2001

Anti-imperialist prisoner speak out in support if MIM radio

With over 2 million people behind bars and growing, America needs 
to hear real news and information about its prisons and prisoners. 
MIM's "Under Lock and Key" radio programming is a small but 
important step in getting some truthful information out.

While I was in Leavenworth penitentiary last year, a 100,000 watt 
community radio station in Kansas City used to air "Under Lock and 
Key." These were always interesting programs and they engendered 
feedback and discussion from the listening community. Here in 
Massachusetts, with its burgeoning prison population facing 
increasingly repressive conditions, programs like "Under Lock and 
Key" are truly needed. I urge your station to at least try this 
programming.

Freedom is a constant Struggle!
