Family Life Behind Bars » Correctional Association of New York http://prison.livesinfocus.org Exploring the impact of incarceration on the family and other personal relationships Wed, 09 Nov 2011 21:00:12 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Web Radio: "Drop the Rock" http://prison.livesinfocus.org/2009/03/27/web-radio-drop-the-rock/ http://prison.livesinfocus.org/2009/03/27/web-radio-drop-the-rock/#comments Fri, 27 Mar 2009 22:28:33 +0000 Maya Pope-Chappell http://livesinfocus.org/prison/?p=1053 Makeba and I will be hosting the second web radio show on Monday, March 30 at 6:30 p.m. EST.  Our first guest is Caitlin Dunklee, a representative from the “Drop the Rock” campaign. Dunklee works with The Correctional Association of New York, an independent, non-profit organization that works to make laws in New York State more fair, efficient and humane.

We’ll be asking Dunklee about the “Drop the Rock” campaign, the recent protests to press the NY state lawmakers to repeal the Rockefeller Drug Laws, and what we can expect from the criminal justice system going forward.

We’ll also be speaking to a formerly incarcerated person sentenced under the Rockefeller Drug Laws.

We expect a dynamic discussion so please flood the lines with your comments and questions about this issue.  Please listen live on your phones or over the Internet. To listen to the show on your phone, dial (347) 326-9981. When you have a question, just press 1 on your phone.
