Description
For this story… we’re going to take you inside a prison. For months, WBEZ has been collaborating with incarcerated journalists at the Kewanee Life Skills Re-entry Center in northwest Illinois. It’s focused on preparing returning citizens for their lives outside. That means… investment classes. An art studio. A barbershop for learning to cut hair. Last week, we passed the mic to one of the journalists there. Now, he’s gonna take us on a tour to meet some of the folks incarcerated at Kewanee… and along the way, record some holiday greetings for their loved ones on the outside. HOST: DIXON
