Our topic this week is creativity behind bars. We showcase poetry from prisoners working with the Indiana Prisoners' Writing Project, a piece by Shaka Shakur, entitled "Black Pain", and a song by local musician Billy Young. Shakur is currently serving time in the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility here in Indiana. Billy Young will speak with us in a future episode about his experience with incarceration and homelessness.

Kite Line is a radio program devoted to prison issues around the Midwest and beyond. Behind the prison walls, a message is called a kite: whispered words, a note passed hand to hand, or a request submitted to the guards for medical care. Illicit or not, sending a kite means trusting that other people will bear it farther along till it reaches its destination. On the show, we hope to pass along words across the prison walls.
