'Envision Yourself Being a Free Man'by Sylvia Ryerson with recordings by Essie Mannes (Restorative Radio Project, WMMT, 2016)Essie Manns is the grandmother of DeVaughn Hall, currently incarcerated at Red Onion State prison. Essie lives in Roanoke, Virginia, a 4 hours drive from the prison. She cannot drive long distances, but she gets rides from her friends and family as often as she can to go and visit DeVaughn in prison. For her audio postcard, Essie recorded a Sunday with the family. She took the recorder to church, and then returned home for a fish fry with their whole extended family.Read our behind-the-scenes interview with Sylvia: http://thirdcoastfestival.org/explore/article/sylvia-ryerson-btsThis episode of Re:sound was produced by Isabel Vázquez Hosted on Acast.

This hour, the story of how an event affected one woman, her family and the criminal justice system.A Life Sentence: Victims, Offenders, Justice and My Mother by Samantha Broun and Jay Allison for Atlantic Public Media and Transom.org In 1994, Sam Broun's mother, Jeremy Brown, was the victim of a violent crime. She was 55 years old and living alone. A stranger came into her backyard, attacked her from behind and five hours later, he left her lying on her bed — hands and feet bound with tape. Alive. She survived. This is a story of how the system failed and how that crime launched and destroyed political careers. It's also a story about family — both the victims and the assailants — and how thousands of prisoners' hopes for a second chance were lost.This piece was made possible with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts with special thanks to Thanks to Rob Rosenthal, Melissa Allison, Sydney Lewis, Viki Merrick, public radio station WCAI and Atlantic Public Media in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.For more about this story, including images, audio extras and links to additional resources, visit Transom.orghttp://transom.org/2016/a-life-sentence-victims-offenders-justice-and-my-mother/http://transom.orghttp://atlantic.org/ Hosted on Acast.

This hour, the suits we wear and the impressions we make. The Runwayby Luke Malone (Start Up, Gimlet Media, 2016) It’s not uncommon for shoppers to walk out of Mary Going’s store feeling on top of the world. Mary runs Saint Harridan, a company that makes custom suits for the gender non-conforming. With her store, Mary has created a space that caters to the needs of butch women and trans men—something that doesn’t happen very often. Her fans are enthusiastic and dedicated, her products are selling out… but she can barely pay her rent.The Blazer Experimentby Delaney Hall (99% Invisible, 2016) In 1968, the police department in Menlo Park, California hired Victor Cizanckas to be the new police chief. His main goal was to reform the department, which had a strained relationship with the community at the time. The method he chose was unconventional — new uniforms for all police officers.This episode of Re:sound was produced by Dennis Funk.Special thanks to Jeanine Fry, Master Tailor at Daniel George Custom Suits in Chicagohttp://www.danielgeorgecustomsuits.com/PhotoRobert Sheiehttps://goo.gl/B7K3Qd Hosted on Acast.
