The Prison ShowAuthor: David Collingsworth - Producer 90.1 FM KPFT - The Prison Show
The Prison Show is a live radio program airing Fridays from 9 11 pm Central Time on KPFT FM 90.1 Houston, streaming at www.kpft.org. The Prison Show on 90.1 FM KPFT in Houston uses the first hour to discuss issues of interest to convicts. The second hour features shout-outs from family and friends in the free world to their loved ones behind bars. David Collingsworth is our Producer, and our Hostess is Dani Allen. Ex-con and gay activist Ray Hill founded The Prison Show on Houstons KPFT 90.1 FM station in 1980; Ray produced and hosted it for three decades and remained involved as a trusted advisor to the day he died. Lobbying by The Prison Show was instrumental in persuading the Texas Legislature to approve the installation of prison payphones for convicts in 2007. Texas was the last state to do so. The Prison Show Gang is a motley crew of ex-offenders, teachers, professors, lawyers, chaplains, activists, ex-politicos, male and female who see the error in the current prison system and the worth in The American people lost but not forgotten inside. Every Friday since Ray created The Prison Show, the show has connected Texas prison inmates with their loved-ones and friends on the outside who cannot easily call or visit. The Prison Show has through their staff brought together Texas Incarcerated Families Association, End Mass Incarceration Houston, ACLU, Texas Coalition To Abolish The Death Penalty, Death Penalty Action, Grass Roots Leadership and TAJ Texas Advocates for Justice, Texas Prisons Community Advocates, The Cohen Parole Law Team, The Death Row Angels, Lioness: Justice Impacted Womens Alliance, Texas Voices for Reason and Justice , Rusty Diamond Network, Pacifica Radio, and many more local businesses, churches, and organizations who's target audience are the offenders inside the walls of our prison system.
