David Collingsworth is our Producer, and our Hostess is Dani Allen. Ex-con and gay activist Ray Hill founded “The Prison Show” on Houston’s KPFT 90.1 FM station in March 1980; Ray produced and hosted it for three decades and remained involved as a trusted advisor till the day he died. Lobbying by The Prison Show was instrumental in persuading the Texas Legislature to approve the installation of prison payphones for convicts in 2007. Texas was the last state to do so. After a 4-year negotiation with TDCJ and Securus, The Prison Show is now approved to upload content on the Edovo App so the incarcerated can view or listen for free without having to purchase radios. Edovo is available currently in 45 states for approximately 900,000 incarcerated individuals. We are a dedicated team of ex-offenders, teachers, professors, lawyers, and activists working to make the incarceration experience more humane
Every Friday The Prison Show has connected the incarcerated with their loved-ones and friends on the outside who cannot easily call or visit for 45 years. The Prison Show has through their staff brought together Edovo, CURE, Texas Incarcerated Families Association, THE Texas Death Penalty Abolition Movement, TPA, Rusty Diamonds, Texas Harm Reduction Alliance, Lioness Justice Impacted Women's Alliance, End Mass Incarceration Houston and Pacifica Radio along with many more local businesses, churches, and organizations who's target audience are the offenders inside the walls of our prison system. The Prison Show's mission is to keep incarcerated individuals connected to their families and the outside world, providing a platform for families to share messages and maintain contact. The show also aims to share relevant news, success stories, and interviews with advocates and the community, while also highlighting important cases and issues within the prison industrial complex. The Prison Show seeks to make the incarceration experience more humane.
