the show is hitting the airwaves and controlling the microphones.

Ann came to The Prison Show a little over ten years ago to get married. She had been a nurse in a Texas prison and fell

Ray standing in for Charles in the studio as Charles and his friends gathered around the radio to celebrate the occassion in the prison.
Cindy Hightower

Cindy's interest in the show came about as she was seeking to support an incarcerated relative. Cindy does tremendous work in helping
to find info and locate folks which has been a wonderful asset! She also serves as a backup, coordinating the phones when Ann has
a lay-in!
