Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week author, academic and previously incarcerated rock star David Carrillo stops back by to talk about his new book, Kiko: From Life without Parole to Life with Purpose, available wherever you buy books. We discuss prison politics, drugs in prison, slow and fast changes in perspective through aging and experience, academics in prison, the concept of redemption, morality, prison media and his continuing role as an in-prison educator working with multiple colleges in Colorado.
You can find the Territorial Prison story of the warden's wife and the death row letter-writing DU-PAI video on YouTube here.
