The Leonard Lopate Show
Stories from the Inside
Thursday, September 14, 2006
NPR's Daniel Zwerdling reveals the difficulties he encountered while investigating immigrant prison abuse here in the US. Then, on Underreported, we get an update on some of the issues facing the Roma in Eastern Europe. Plus, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edward P. Jones joins us. And we take a behind the scenes look at Evangelical America.
Investigating Abuse
In the PBS expose, "An Inside Job," NPR’s Daniel Zwerdling talks about uncovering immigrant prison abuse in the US--despite incredible resistance from public officials. He's joined by his executive producer, Tom Casciato.
Underreported: Roma Issues
On today's Underreported, The Christian Science Monitor's Jeffrey White calls in from Prague with a report of recent cases of forced sterilization of Roma women in the Czech Republic. He's joined by Violeta Krasnic, the Program Coordinator for Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union at WITNESS. WITNESS and its partner organization, Drom, have just produced a film about integrating Roma children into Bulgarian schools.
