On this West Virginia Morning, Red Onion is one of two high-security, supermax prisons in southwestern Virginia. Prisoners say they live in poor conditions and are often placed in solitary confinement for long stretches of time. Inside Appalachia’s Mason Adams spoke with reporter Charlotte Rene Woods, who has been covering the story.
And from Mountain Stage, indie supergroup Fantastic Cat recorded this week’s Song of the Week “All My Fault” almost a year ago at the Culture Center Theater in Charleston.
