KFAI's MinneCulture Presents

Crime Pays: A Look At Who's Getting Rich From the Prison Boom takes an in-depth look at the corporations that have profited so greatly from the prison system: private prison corporations, telephone companies, for-profit prison health care services, private prison transportation companies and corporate vendors. Crime Pays was written and produced by JoAnn Mar in collaboration with Grassroots Leadership. This documentary will air in two parts on April 12 and 19 on the Listening Lounge, KFAI, Wednesdays at 11:30am.

The Lies My Grandma Told Me is an examination of what makes a lie and why we tell them. How can you tell a lie from the truth? Does it really matter? Local producer Kristina Lundino recorded this piece with John Gerlach on a reel-to-reel. We will also be re-airing a piece called Keeping Secrets by producer Aaron Henkin. Keeping Secrets is an extended interview with artist Frank Warren, who has become the recipient of thousands of secrets submitted from anonymous individuals by postcard. (4/3/06)
