A Love Affair with Prison

Words Out West

In this episode, Butte native Leah Joki reflects on the 20 years she spent in almost every state prison in California — teaching and performing theatre.

This episode contains some adult language and themes, and depictions of sexual misconduct in a prison setting, which may be unsuitable for some listeners. Listener discretion is advised.
