Relax, unwind, and let go of the day’s events as you listen to Randall Via tell you a bedtime story from behind the walls of the Virginia Department of Corrections. Randall is currently incarcerated at Keen Mountain Correctional Center in Oakwood, Virginia. He has spent over 30 years in prison, including more than 20 years in solitary confinement, where he used the art of storytelling to preserve his sanity.
In this first episode of the podcast, Randy shares an old prison story that another inmate once told him.
This podcast brings you gripping tales from Randall about life behind bars—stories of survival, the harsh realities of prison culture, and the incredible worlds he created in his mind to escape the confines of his cell. These stories might haunt your dreams, but they’ll also remind you to cherish the freedom you have.
No matter how tough your day has been, remember: at least you’re not in prison. So settle in, get comfortable, and let Randall take you on a journey into the night. Sleep well, knowing you’re free—and never take that for granted.
This is Night Time in Prison.
