Greetings BTR family! Thanks for blogging with us. To our Twitter family, allow us to reintroduce ourselves: On the Count!: The Prison Criminal & Justice Report is the only public affairs radio program in the United States exclusively produced and hosted by men and women formerly incarcerated as juveniles or adults. They bring their unique perspective to the analysis and programming.
The primary goals of On the Count are to provide a platform for these voices historically excluded from the criminal justice and prison discussion and the decision-making process; to develop program content from the knowledge base and perspective of people formerly and currently incarcerated; to put a human face on those who are caught within the system; to educate listeners about the historic and contemporary development of the criminal justice and prison system in the United States; to introduce programs and policies for reducing reliance on punishment; and to profile individuals and organizations working to create a new, more humane and just criminal justice paradigm.
