This week, Sean Swain talks about the recently passed law to silence prisoners voices in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. In particular, this law came in response to a request by the widow of Officer Faulkner, allegedly killed by journalist Mumia Abu Jamal, that Mumia's voice not be broadcast in public as it brought her pain to think of her dead husband. Sean talks about prisoner speech and reminds us that while reformist, the protection of speech of prisoners extends to protection of our own voices on the outside.
