Greetings!
The standard news media thrives on a polished version of the truth, one that fits neatly between commercial breaks and adheres to corporate interests. They provide the “what,” but they rarely have the courage to provide the “why,” especially when the answer implicates the powerful.
At Prison Radio, we don’t answer to advertisers or political parties. We provide a platform for the voices the state has tried the hardest to silence. We offer you access to a raw, unfiltered reality that corporate media simply will not grant you.
The Truth You Won’t Find Elsewhere
Take, for example, the recent commentary by Mumia Abu-Jamal, “Killing for Click Bait.” While mainstream outlets might sanitize the state-sanctioned violence at our borders, Mumia strips away the rhetoric to reveal a chilling reality. In his report on the ICE execution of Renee Nicole Good, Mumia connects the dots that others fear to touch:
“The federal government, now openly in the grips of rightist ideology, sees U.S. citizens as enemies who may be executed if they don’t obey their orders… This was the message radiating from the Third Reich. This is the message of power to the powerless.”
This is hard-hitting journalistic truth challenges the very foundation of the “obey or die” doctrine.
We alone have been publishing Mumia’s commentaries for over 35 years, and now we publish commentaries from dozens of other people living inside prison. No one else offers un-censored microphones to folks in any prison in the United States. Please support our work.
