This week, we broadcast an interview digging into the problem of barriers to higher education during incarceration. This interview is between Kristina Byers and Anastazia Schmid, both  former inmates at the Indiana Women’s Prison. Anastazia speaks to the difficulties accessing a successful educational experience behind prison walls.
These interviews conducted on the barriers to higher education are made possible by a grant from the Lumina Foundation.
In today&#8217;s news, we share the words of prisoners at Indiana Women&#8217;s Prison who are suffering from extreme conditions and deprivations there.  The related petition can be found <a href="https://www.change.org/p/governor-eric-holcomb-end-inhumane-dangerous-policies-at-indiana-women-s-prison">here</a>.

Kite Line- July 10, 2020: When Success is an Anomaly

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.
