Episode: Prisoncast! Holiday Special 2023
Description: On Sunday, Dec. 17 at 2 p.m., WBEZ 91.5FM aired a special broadcast event dedicated to people incarcerated in Illinois and their families on the outside. Over the past months, producers for Prisoncast! made several visits to Danville Correctional Center and the Kane County Jail to record story readings for Sunday’s program. The storybook recording from Cook County Jail was made possible thanks to the group Contextos, which runs a writing program there. The show features sound-designed and scored recordings of incarcerated parents reading storybooks to their children.
