Prison Nation Radio w/ Michael B. Jackson  

The first program will focus on the "Counting the Costs of Incarceration" Hearings being convened around the state of NJ by Assembly Majority Speaker Bonnie Watson Coleman.
"Historically, formerly incarcerated people have rarely been included, with any significant degree, in the conversations on what is best for formerly incarcerated people and those effected by crime and incarceration," says Michael B. Jackson, Founder and Host of PNR. Prison Nation Radio performs a public service by giving incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people, their families and the prison-affected community a forum to address issues important to them. Assemblywoman Watson Coleman and several of her colleagues are going to the people and listening and asking for solutions."
Jackson, who was formerly incarcerated, is encouraging other formerly incarcerated people, family members, friends and the general community to participate by sharing stories, comments and information. Those who cannot attend can call in, email or join the live chat room during the broadcast. The currently incarcerated who wants to participate can do so by sending their comments via U.S. Mail. Letters should be mailed to: PMB 104, Bubblewrap, 621 Beverly-Rancocas Rd, Willingboro, NJ 08046.
 The program call in phone number is 1-347-215-8904.
PNR's weekly (Thursdays, 6:30 - 8:30 PM/ET), talk formatted broadcast includes interactive discussion, guest interviews, listener call-in, news/information updates and art  entertainment with special attention to issues important to the Prison Nation community.
