Calls From the Inside
2021

In reality, once a person enters the criminal justice system, there are multiple opportunities to make calls while awaiting trial. The vast majority of those calls are recorded.

Jailhouse phone calls are used to frame the narrative of murder investigations steeped in mystery.Stolen Taste of Formosa
