ON THE COUNT: The Prison and Criminal Justice Report | Broadcasting live from WBAI 99.5 fm in NYC, ON THE COUNT is an hour-long news and talk program featuring policy analysis, commentary, recommendations and action plans. ON THE COUNT is driven and informed by the perspectives of people formerly incarcerated, serving as a fresh jumping off point for stakeholders at every level within the criminal justice public policy formulation -- legal, research, legislation, reform, litigation, social service provision, reentry, advocacy and activism. The program's objective is to provide an inclusive forum for the discussion of criminal justice, political, community and economic development and prison issues otherwise not easily found in mainstream coverage. By design, ON THE COUNT relies on the voices historically minimized, marginalized, and outright excluded from the discussion, let alone any decision making process -- despite being an obvious and profound source of insight, not to mention high personal stake in overall outcome.
