About The Prison Show

From the publisher's feed

The Prison Show is a live radio program airing Friday nights from 9–11 PM Central on 90.1 FM KPFT in Houston since March 1980. Today, the program reaches beyond…

traditional radio through Facebook Live, YouTube, podcast platforms, and the Edovo App, where incarcerated individuals can watch or listen free on their tablets.

The first hour focuses on issues important to incarcerated individuals and their families. The second hour features shout-outs from family and friends in the free world to loved ones behind wire and bars.

Shout-outs can be made live by calling 713-526-5738, option 2, after 9:45 PM Friday nights, or prerecorded during the week through Facebook Messenger or by emailing [email protected].

David Collingsworth is Producer and Dani Allen is Host.

The Prison Show has never been simply a radio program. It has long served as a platform for advocacy, communication, and connection between incarcerated individuals, their families, and the broader community.

Advocacy by The Prison Show helped persuade the Texas Legislature to approve telephones in TDCJ facilities in 2007, allowing incarcerated individuals greater access to their families. Texas was the last state to do so.

After four years of negotiations with TDCJ and Securus, The Prison Show was approved for the Edovo App, providing free access to incarcerated individuals. Edovo is now available in 48 states and serves approximately 1.1 million incarcerated people.

The people behind The Prison Show include formerly incarcerated individuals, teachers, professors, attorneys, chaplains, activists, advocates, family members, and community leaders united by the belief that those behind prison walls should not be forgotten.

Through our staff, volunteers, guests, and community relationships, The Prison Show has connected with organizations including Death Row Angels, TX C.U.R.E., Texas Prisons Alliance, Texas Harm Reduction Alliance, Texas Incarcerated Families Association, End Mass Incarceration Houston, ACLU, Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, Death Penalty Action, Grassroots Leadership, TAJ – Texas Advocates for Justice, Lioness: Justice Impacted Women’s Alliance, Texas Voices for Reason and Justice, Rusty Diamond Network, attorneys Paul Morgan and Terry Peden, Pacifica Radio, and many others working in criminal justice, prison reform, reentry, harm reduction, family advocacy, and social justice.

Our mission is to keep incarcerated individuals connected to their families and the outside world, while providing relevant news, success stories, interviews, and discussions about important cases and issues within the prison industrial complex. We strive to make the incarceration experience more humane.

Your loved one wants to hear your voice. - Cowboy David Collingsworth

The Prison Show is a nonprofit charitable organization, EIN 39-3056060, and a national multimedia radio program focused on communication and connection between incarcerated individuals and their families throughout prisons and jails.
