Corrections - Survival of the Fittest Podcast artwork

A serial audio drama created by real inmates in a real maximum security prison. Over a period of three years, a team of a dozen inmates worked with university teachers to create a script for an unfolding audio drama -- one that would entertain their peers while confronting the health issues they all face. Then, using nothing but the most limited recording equipment, these men performed and recorded what they had written. The result is fiction -- but a story revealing the truth these men know and live every day.
