119: Lockup
Jan 8, 1999
With the number of prisoners in the United States rising rapidly, we present stories of their lives and the lives of their families and children.
- What happens when you go into a place—in this case a prison—where there are all sorts of codes about what you're never supposed to say...and you say every one of them. Rick Reynolds tells a story from his one-man show (and CD) All Grown Up and No Place to Go, about performing stand-up comedy at a maximum security prison just before Christmas a few years ago. (6 minutes)Song: "In the Jailhouse, Now", Steve Earle and the V-Roys
