Philip Seiler served 18 years in San Quentin and came out a different man - and it was education he believes that transformed him. The Director of the San Quentin College Programme, Jody Lewen agrees.
Jean Freidman Rudovsky visits a women's prison in La Paz to find out how the inmates are trying to re-create a semblance of normal life inside, by starting small businesses to earn money, and even keeping their children with them.
Peter Woolf came from a family of criminals, he was a thief and a drug addict from the age of 10. By the time he was 30 he had spent 18 years in prison. Peter is representative of many of the more than 80,000 prisoners in Britain's jails.

'The Birds' - by Luc De Vos
Flemish columnist and writer Luc De Vos is also the lead singer with the Belgian pop group Gorki. He's a regular guest on TV programmes and has written a series of autobiographical novels.
His Radio Books story begins in 1978 when a young priest is teaching religion and music to adolescent boys - including one from an important political family. Thirty years later the boy is the country's new premier when he encounters the priest again - in a most unusual manner!

*** Curious Orange (primary program) ***
Things are changing around here... so, before we tune out for the summer, we want to say thanks to you, our listeners... and we don't want to hurt the earth - or your pocket-book - doing it.
So, we'll start by taking you shopping in Amsterdam - former diamond capital - for ethical diamonds.
Then, with your nice new rock in hand, we'll take you out to dinner in a greenhouse... one of the best local organic restaurants in Amsterdam.
After having your fill of fine food, we'll take you out for some live music from our recurring favourite Dutch musician: Lucky Fonz III.
