Byron Mullens' prison ball

When I read this story by Anna Katherine Clemmons about Byron Mullens' working on his game during the lockout at a medium security prison, I was reminded of my all-time favorite segment on "This American Life" from 2002. Prisoners at a high security facility in Missouri staged a production of "Hamlet" and, in the process, the actors realized how much their life experiences mirrored the play's themes. Mullens has been playing prison ball dating back to high school, when he'd visit a nearby juvenile detention facility to play pick-up with kids who were locked up and offer them some advice.
