Twelve fascinating interviews with a California death row inmate....

Imprisoned at 15! Beaten by the police! Thrown in solitary confinement!No, she is not innocent. Even so, she was a child. A "super predator", said the politicians - a person who ought never to see daylight! The times have changed. Her voice rises like her name: Seraphim Jade. In Chronicles of a Female Prisoner, you will come to understand the causes that lead Seraphim Jade to a life sentence for murder. Her case made it on the front page, a child super predator, and the youth authority guards took it on themselves to bring her pain.

Twenty-seven years after the murder of Nancy Willem, the State of California has not put Johnny Miles to death. He has lived in a one-person cell on San Quentin’s death row, among hundreds of others convicted of first-degree murder. Johnny Miles has had to find a measure of acceptance to continue living on death row; he has chosen to live while under the sentence of death. The learning curve is meant for the learned: a person that can separate flair from meaning...more or less an investigative and curious art enthusiast and/or enjoyer of abstract poetry.

Listen as five criminals tell their stories. Jay Jay found trouble young, very young. Serving time at age 12 is not the beginning of Jay Jay’s descent into criminality.

The life-in-prison story reveals how time does not stop when men face the world in shackles.

Mouthpiece is a brutally told biographical sketch of an incarcerated pimp in prison for human trafficking. Raw boasts and brazen inner-city tales litter the story’s violent, unrepentant landscape. Like a marked man, Mouthpiece keeps after the listener with a cold perspective. Money is the aim, and young women are the product.
