Britain Prison Radio Station Wins Top Award

By Jeralyn

Via the new site The Stimulist: It wasn't BBC that won the top award for radio at the Sony Radio Academy awards in the UK this week, it was Electric Radio Brixton, a prison radio station. The Guardian has the story:

[The station] won four prizes, including two prestigious gold awards. Run by the Prison Radio Association (PRA), most of the station’s music and speech output is produced and presented by prisoners. With a tagline of ‘making waves behind bars,’ it broadcasts 24 hours a day, but only inside the prison walls.”

I bet it's better than the Christian-oriented prison radio stations we get in this country.
