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.
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!
