http://www.soundprint.org/ SOUNDPRINT is broadcast weekly on public radio stations nationwide, and is the longest-running documentary series on public radio. The SOUNDPRINT series provides a national vehicle for long-form non-fiction works by outstanding producers, while fostering the development of emerging producers to encourage innovation and new voices on public radio. Each SOUNDPRINT program explores one subject in depth, from the impact of AIDS in Haiti, to civil rights issues in Mississippi, to what it means to learn differently from your peers. SOUNDPRINT exploits the richly imaginative, personal medium that radio can be, brings its listeners stories from around the world, and has won virtually all major broadcast awards. en-us copyright 2005, SOUNDPRINT Media Center, Inc Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:01:00 EDT info@soundprint.org 1 Hong Kong is largely known for its sophisticated mix of every thing modern, and its thriving economy, but this island city of over 7 million people also has a thriving animal kingdom. Like their human counterparts, these animals are not native to the land. Sarah Passmore of Radio Television Hong Kong introduces these animals, from "Pui Pui" the celebrity crocodile to the Rhesus Monkeys that terrorize women and children. For our Global Perspective Series on Escape, Sarah Passmore shows us around Hong Kong where the Buffalo roam.

There are minimum and maximum-security prisons for men, and a women's prison. There is also accommodation for a seized crocodile, smuggled parrots, endangered snakes, crippled kangaroos and wounded wombats. In the middle of an Australian summer the sprawling prison grounds are dry, bare and flat, and the whole complex is surrounded by high chain link fences topped with razor wire. Within this forbidding environment there lies an unlikely refuge, a literal sanctuary of green, with a lush garden, shady trees and plenty of water. The wildlife center is part animal hospital, part educational facility - and a congenial workplace for three correctional officers and ten minimum security male inmates. Producer Natalie Kestecher of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation takes listeners inside a jail to meet up with a group of men for whom working in a cage might even be fun. This program airs as part of our special international collaboration, Global Perspectives: The World of Crime.
