Tim and Jen get locked in with a raw adaptation of Miguel Piñero’s sensational play, Short Eyes!
Hear the whole thing on Patreon and get access to more than 50 bonus episodes!
Go here for a bio of Piñero, the trailblazing Nuyorican playwright, as well as a list of his works.
BTW, there’s a documentary called The Survivor’s Guide to Prison that is slick, well made, and narrated by Danny Trejo as well as many other cultural icons. You can watch it for free with ads on Tubi, or on Kanopy with a library card. In other words, it’s perfect for sending to your normie friends who haven’t been hipped to the cause of prison abolition yet!
NYC Urbanism has historical information on the setting of Short Eyes, the Manhattan Detention Complex, aka The Tombs.
If you missed our episode on The Jericho Mile, why not give it a listen? It’s free!
