About This Podcast

Not so much a true crime podcast, as a ”post-crime” podcast. The growing Asian American prison population and the impact of incarceration in our communities often goes unaddressed because of the cultural shame and stigma of incarceration in our families. This podcast looks at how incarceration specifically impacts API communities, and what it’s like when you ”kill” your prisoner number and return to society.

Produced by API RISE. Hosted by Kirn Kim and Kristina Wong
