Prison Planet
The night air gets a little locked-up.
Travelling to a distant, perhaps not-so-fatal, shore and taking a guided tour around a gaol, and listening to poems which have their roots in shipping logs, newspaper excerpts and letters.
And in part 2: Penal Music for a Prison Planet - DJ Jim Knox cuttin' loose from cultural lock-down.
