Ray Hill's - The
Prison Show
has been broadcast on Houston's
Pacifica radio station KPFT 90.1 FM
weekly since March, 1980.

You can tune in on Friday nights
at 9:00 PM Central Time.

During the first hour of
the program Ray, the gang, and sometimes special guests discuss current
issues and review the week's mailbag. In the second hour we take the
calls that make the show so special, as the callers connect to talk to
their family members, friends and loved ones within the Texas prison
system. We are all then somehow able to form together to become one
large family through our common experience.

The State of Texas doesn't yet permit inmates to have access to
telephones or the internet. So for many inmates The Prison Show is the
only way for them to hear the voices of their relatives, loved ones and
friends between the visits which often come much too rarely due to the
financial hardships they entail.

We begin accepting
long distance calls at 9:20 PM
and local calls at 10:00 PM Central Time.

The number to call is (713) 526-5738.

As Ray frequently says, "Business is good," so should you get a busy
signal,
just make that redial button work! |
