Snap Judgment presents, “Hot Trash,” a special spotlight on the Ear Hustle Podcast, from PRX’s Radiotopia.
Visiting a loved one in prison is both emotionally intense and constrained by countless rules — from how much PDA is too much PDA, to what kind of candy you can eat inside. One year after California prison authorities suspended in-person visits due to COVID-19, hear stories from and about visiting rooms… and how families are adjusting to video “visits.
This episode contains explicit language, sensitive listeners please be advised.
