“Historically,formerly incarcerated people have rarely been included, with any significantdegree, in the conversations on what is best for formerly incarcerated people,”says Michael B. Jackson, creator and Host of PNR. “This is one example of howPNR plans to serve.”
Jackson,who was formerly incarcerated, is encouraging other formerly incarceratedpeople, family members, friends and the general community to participate bysharing stories, comments and information. Those who cannot attend can call in,email or join the live chat room during the broadcast. The currently incarceratedwho wants to participate can do so by sending their comments via U.S. Mail. As many letters as possible will be readduring the broadcast and all will be posted on the PNR website www.Jointfx.com. Letters should bemailed to: PMB 104, Postnet, 621 Beverly-Rancocas Rd, Willingboro, NJ 08046.The program call in phone number is 1-347-215-8904.
PrisonNation Radio plans to perform a public service by giving incarcerated andformerly incarcerated people and the prison-affected community a point of view.The weekly talk formatted broadcast will include guest interviews, newsinformation updates and attention to issues important to the PNR audience.
MichaelB. Jackson is the Publisher and Author of three books; "How to Do GoodAfter Prison: A Handbook for Successful Reentry," "How to Love &Inspire Your Man After Prison," and "Como Cumplir Con TusObligaciones Al Salir De La Prision: Guia practica para una vida mejor."
“Noone wants these programs to work more than the people, but there are a lot ofconcerns,” explained Jackson. “Many of the men and women have past experienceswith well-intended programs that were not successful, for whatever reason.Formerly incarcerated people have many complex issues to deal with when theyget out of prison. Many people will receive many dollars to address these issues,but not everyone who says they can do so really can. In the end, the only oneswho get jammed up are the people looking for help.”
