Today we're airing audio from the Final Straw Radio which airs on Asheville FM in North Carolina.  Their show on June 23rd featured 2 interviews one talking about the annual "Shut'em Down Week of Action", called by jailhouse lawyer speak for December of this year and one talking with Monsour Owolabi sharing some perspectives on inside outside collaboration, the role of isolation in prisons as counterinsurgency, and the importance of transitional housing projects.  We will start with the interview about JLS Jailhouse Lawyer Speak's Week of Action this interview features Courtney from the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee as well as Rock a communications bridge for JLS and residential manager at the JLS transition house.  Rock talks about that transition house project in the interview as well.   As always the audio from the previous show bleeds into the start of this one! We are trying to catch up with a year of shows that have been absent in our podcast feed and so we have been downloading directly from the CKUT archives and posting here. The way the archives work, there is often a minute or two of the previous show at the start of the hour.
