Prison Diaries Obituary

NPR

Published February 28, 2002 at 11:00 PM CST

Matthew Omisore died two weeks ago. It's not likely you know that name, but you might remember his story. Matthew was 18 years old and had sold drugs for most of his teenage years. Joe Richman was the producer of the Prison Diaries series that aired on All Things Considered last year and brought us Matthew's story as part of that series.
