How do people both inside and outside of prison work together to dismantle the criminal justice system and build a society based on collective care?
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.

What to do about a telethon other than fuck it up? Poet, tarotist, artist, and librarian Cyrée Jarelle Johnson returns to IWBWYE to read the 1980s and ’90s for what those decades were: practice for now.

An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
