Keith LaMar – a wrongfully convicted death row prisoner who’s been in solitary confinement for 27 years – calls in to discuss his upbringing in inner-city Cleveland and some of the factors that resulted in him entering the juvenile justice system at the age of 13; how Richard Wright gave his life meaning; and what he learned about himself while partaking in a 12-day prison hunger strike.
