Kiteline Radio

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.

On the show, we hope to pass along words across the prison walls.  Listen to their episode “Dear Marius“.
