WRFI Community Radio News 07/02/2021 Today, we’re starting with a conversation about solitary confinement in state prisons. We speak with local activist, Wayles Brown, who has been working for decades on the issue. During its last legislative session, the New York Legislature passed into law the 'HALT' Solitary Confinement ACT, which closely resembles a bill Wayles has been promoting for years. Later in the show, we bring you an episode of a brand new podcast focused on the people in Ithaca. It’s called THIS is Ithaca, and it offers a brief glimpse into the lives of people that compose the city’s larger community.
