CU's Prison Education program offers college communication classes aimed at giving prisoners the skills and confidence to return to their communities.
The program is made possible through a partnership between CU Denver and the @Colorado_DOC.

A new radio station launched this week in Colorado. But it’s not what you typically find coming over the airwaves.

The station launched on Tuesday inside the Limon Correctional facility and is controlled by inmates, who create the programming. The radio station as a whole is the product of the University of Denver's Prison Arts Initiative. trib.al/N4UAMkv

This radio station shines a spotlight on those in Colorado prisons, for both the incarcerated and the public.

A new radio station, streaming worldwide, takes listeners behind the walls of Colorado prisons. Today is launch day. We were there — inside the Limon Correctional Facility. Search “Inside Wire” on App Store or Google Play. #prison #rehabilitation #radio @KDVR @channel2kwgn

I sat down with the Limon residents behind this radio station for an interview about restorative justice.
The station offers content 24/7 and can be heard by downloading the Inside Wire app.

I enjoyed visiting the historic Hotel St. Cloud in Cañon City this afternoon with @Colorado_DOC Executive Director Dean Williams and Mayor Ashley Smith. This project is part of a historic revitalization plan for Main Street.

“If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” A good motto for the values behind today’s Criminal Justice Systems forum, as spoken by panelist Micah Espinoza of WAGEES Western Slope.

My deepest sympathies go out to the family of firefighter Ian McBeth who lost his life volunteering in Australia to fight the wildfires when an aerial water tanker plane crashed in New South Wales Thursday. Ian was a graduate of Wray High School in 1994.
Rest In Peace.

The @ColoradoBHTF will propose solutions to alleviate the judicial system & get inmates the help they desperately need so they can move forward beyond the walls. See why @Colorado_DOC Executive Director believes in this mission: #TransformCO bitly.com/COBHTF

Director of @Colorado_DOC explains the critical need for behavioral health transformation in correctional facilities, “Getting things right behind the walls will help these individuals get services they need so they’re on the right path when they’re on the outside.” #TransformCO
