Today on the show, we revisited an education program at the Lakeland Correctional Facility that trains people living on the inside in high-end culinary techniques. This training program, its students, and the extraordinary man who runs it are the subject of a new documentary film, Coldwater Kitchen. It offers a lens on modern corrections, and also the place and power of food in our culture. We spoke with the program's director and the director and co-writer of the new film, debuting at the Freep Film Festival in April.
