BONUS: “The Prison Beat” | S2: New Folsom
Manage episode 421924978 series 2928817
Reporting on prisons from the outside is often difficult; it’s a closed and secretive world. But there is also important reporting being done by people who are inside prison, which comes with dangers of its own. Sukey and Julie sit down with two formerly incarcerated journalists, Rahsaan Thomas and Jesse Vasquez, to talk about the challenges and opportunities of prison reporting.
Rahsaan Thomas is the Executive Director of Empowerment Avenue and a producer at Ear Hustle.
Jesse Vasquez is the Executive Director of the Pollen Initiative and former Editor-in-Chief of the San Quentin News.
