RadioActive worked with the Ministry of Justice and Nuclair Consulting to set up Rise Maximum Radio, a new radio station broadcasting from within Trinidad’s Maximum Security Prison.
The station is being used to promote rehabilitation, give prisoners a place to learn new skills, share their experiences and promote positive change with the prison population.
The UK Prison Radio Association (PRA) has supported this initiative from the beginning and brought RadioActive in to provide equipment and training for the station. Listen to the PRA’s Chief Executive Phil Maguire’s radio piece on Rise Maximum Radio on the BBC World Service here.
