Keith LaMar – a wrongfully convicted death row prisoner – calls in to discuss what it was like growing up inner-city Cleveland and how he ended up in the juvenile justice system at the age of 13; how Richard Wright gave his life meaning; what he learned about himself while partaking in a 12-day prison hunger strike; and how he's maintained his sanity despite being in solitary confinement for 27 years.
