New Jersey Prison Community focused Talk Radio Station – Prison Nation Radio (PNR) – to Go Live Online Saturday, December 8, 2007 (Willingboro, NJ) - November 29, 2007 – Prison Nation Radio (PNR), a New Jersey based Talk Radio Station, will go online Saturday, December 8, 2007, from the Willingboro Public Library. The live two-hour program plans to broadcast Saturdays, from 10a.m. to –noon, with a focus on Criminal Justice System issues and their affects on New Jersey’s inner city communities. The first program’s topics will include Recidivism in New Jersey and Governor Corzine’s Prisoner Reentry Plan. The Public is invited. Online access is at www.Jointfx.com.
“Historically,formerly incarcerated people have rarely been included, with any significant degree, in the conversations on what is best for formerly incarcerated people,”says Michael B. Jackson, creator and Host of PNR. “This is one example of how PNR plans to serve.”
Jackson,who was formerly incarcerated, is encouraging other formerly incarcerated people, family members, friends and the general community to participate by sharing stories, comments and information. Those who cannot attend can call in,email or join the live chat room during the broadcast. The currently incarcerated who wants to participate can do so by sending their comments via U.S. Mail. As many letters as possible will be read during the broadcast and all will be posted on the PNR website www.Jointfx.com. Letters should be mailed to: PMB 104, Postnet, 621 Beverly-Rancocas Rd, Willingboro, NJ 08046.The program call in phone number is 1-347-215-8904.
Prison Nation Radio plans to perform a public service by giving incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people and the prison-affected community a point of view.The weekly talk formatted broadcast will include guest interviews, news information updates and attention to issues important to the PNR audience.
Michael B. Jackson is the Publisher and Author of three books; "How to Do Good After Prison: A Handbook for Successful Reentry," "How to Love &Inspire Your Man After Prison," and "Como Cumplir Con Tus Obligaciones Al Salir De La Prision: Guia practica para una vida mejor."
“No one wants these programs to work more than the people, but there are a lot of concerns,” explained Jackson. “Many of the men and women have past experiences with well-intended programs that were not successful, for whatever reason.Formerly incarcerated people have many complex issues to deal with when they get out of prison. Many people will receive many dollars to address these issues,but not everyone who says they can do so really can. In the end, the only ones who get jammed up are the people looking for help.”
Registration and participation is free. The first 50 people to pre-register and attend the live broadcast at Willingboro Public Library will receive a free autographed copy of Jackson’s book, "How to Love & Inspire Your Man After Prison."There is room for only 50 people at the Library and Pre-Registration is required. The first 100 to register and log in to the broadcast online will also receive a free book.
