Three prison journalists and activists share how they have countered retaliation for exposing corruption and inhumane conditions inside America's federal detention facilities. They risked solitary confinement, prison transfers, parole denials and blocked communication - yet remain committed to fighting a system they describe as a "machine that is counterproductive to rehabilitation."

  • Robert Barton co-founded More Than Our Crimes and was denied parole.
  • Pam Bailey, his partner, saw her email address blocked at multiple federal prisons.
  • Askia Afrika-Ber published exposés on prison corruption at USP McCreary, resulting in 90 days of solitary confinement and transfer to one of the worst facilities, USP Hazelton.

All three continue their advocacy despite the risks, drawing inspiration from civil rights leaders who put their lives on the line. Listeners can support prison journalism by following their work, visiting their website, and sharing information

The next episode will explore the laws and institutions that initially worked against Rob's release and those that finally allowed him to gain freedom.
