As we celebrate Halloween today, we thought we'd invite inmates around the USA to join in on the fun, eat some candy, and share their traditions both in and out of prison. We wondered if they watch scary movies from the prison dayroom, if they make homemade goodies or buy homemade candy from other inmates, or even if they give candy away to trick-or-treating cellmates. So we asked male and female prison inmates to call PenPals.Buzz and share their stories on this extra spooky and fun bonus episode.
First, we talk to PenPals.Buzz member and friend, Jason Kurtz, about his myriad Halloween experiences and traditions, and what he does from inside the prison walls to celebrate and enjoy the spirit of the holiday. Jason also shares some true real-life scary stories from his book, Secret Tales of the Supernatural, available now on Amazon.
Then, Cheyenne Smith and Laura Wickham, both from a Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida, talk to Big Steve about their Halloween traditions, and what they can (and can't) do, while inside.
