PRISON AUDIO STORY STUDIO
Get their story
out of the phone call.
You bring the questions and the relationship. We build the call-in project, capture the answers, and turn the real voice on the other end into a finished episode.
THE DELIVERABLE / 01—06
One purchase.
A complete episode.
This is a defined production service—not a donation, a money-transfer product, or a charge to the incarcerated participant.
Open the project
We create a private project and access code for the participant to use through the facility’s existing phone system.
Capture the voice
The participant hears the prompts and records answers over one or more calls, with clear recording consent.
Produce the episode
We edit for clarity, remove avoidable noise, balance levels, and create a polished listening experience.
Build the package
You receive a transcript, title, description, square cover image, show notes, and a mastered MP3.
Approve and release
Share the MP3 anywhere. If everyone approves, we can also publish the episode on Prison Audio.
WHO THIS SERVES
The people outside who are trying to preserve a voice inside.
Preserve a loved one’s voice, history, reflections, and messages in something more durable than a phone call.
Produce a remote first-person interview without asking a guest inside to own equipment or use the internet.
Collect structured recorded answers for an approved editorial or research project.
Create first-person educational stories with consent, context, and professional production.
THE LINE WE HOLD
Consent before content.
Every speaker must know the call is being recorded. The incarcerated participant controls whether the finished work is delivered privately or approved for public release.
We do not record privileged legal calls, impersonate a caller, bypass facility controls, promise publication, or accept projects built around harassment, exploitation, threats, or glorifying harm.
