Summary
William Greider, political reporter for Rolling Stone magazine and Wilbert Rideau, editor-in-chief of the award winning prison magazine The Angolite on this archival edition of Fresh Air. One of Greider's many contributions is titled, "Why the Rich Get Richer." Greider speaks about this article, the status of our economy, and the just-announced interest rate hike. Greider is also author of two best selling books Secrets of the Temple and Who Will Tell the People. Rideau is an inmate of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola serving a life term for murder. In 1989, the Penitentiary was "under a state of emergency." In early 1990, Warden John P. Whitely was hired. In his five year tenure, Whitely's management style helped turn the prison around garnering national and international attention. It also gained the attention of the inmates who recently hosted a farewell dinner in honor of the departing warden. Rideau talks about the farewell. (Original Broadcast Date: February 2, 1995)
