This will be an opportunity to hear from Robert King, one of the Angola Three, about the use of prolonged isolation in our prisons. Robert King was held in solitary confinement for 29 years. Since his release King has worked tirelessly to expose the injustices of the American penal system perpetrated against African-Americans and poor people.
We will also hear from family members whose children are in isolation and explore actions that we can take to end prolonged isolation in our prisons.

The FCC has just made publicly available on its website the application for thousands of small community radio stations going up for grabs across the country. It's the first time in more than a decade these noncommercial stations are becoming available, including for the first time ever in most urban areas, where a station can reach hundreds of thousands of listeners.
