Podcast Description: Bobby Bostic’s talents recently drew a crowd to a poetry reading of several works. The prolific writer and poet is serving a 241-year sentence in prison — a shocking punishment that has drawn attention from local and national criminal justice advocates. In November, Bostic will finally leave prison on parole. This episode features reflections from Bostic, and Ronnie Amiyn of the Freedom Community Center shares his own experience understanding the redeeming qualities of art in prison.
