In South Florida, Kathie Klarreich, executive director of the nonprofit educational organization Exchange for Change, has been elevating the voices of incarcerated writers for years.
“Education is a human right. When we convict someone, the punishment really is that we have removed them from society so they can no longer enjoy all the freedoms that we have out here,” she said. “If we don't spend that time educating them… we're failing ourselves as a community.”
Research from the American Journal of Criminal Justice shows that education in prison decreases the probability of recidivism by almost 15% against the average national recidivism rate of 46%.
Klarreich founded Exchange for Change in South Florida in 2014. What started with one writing class over a decade ago has now expanded to dozens of college-level courses across seven South Florida prisons that help incarcerated people reshape their lives through writing.

Tim Padgett: To observe this month’s Haitian Flag Day, the members of Haiti's political and business elite who've sponsored violent gangs should reflect on the damage they've done - and hope it’s not irreparable.
The fallout from a deadly spasm of armed violence in Jamaica in 2010 began a process of severing ties between that country’s gangs and its political and business elites. WLRN’s Americas Editor Tim Padgett says it’s a break that Haiti in 2026 desperately needs to emulate.

Troopers with the Florida Highway Patrol are leading immigration enforcement efforts in the state and have focused arrests heavily in one particular area: Palm Beach County.
Approximately one in five arrests by FHP troopers occurred in Palm Beach County, according to a review of Florida’s enforcement database since last August. In all, FHP troopers apprehended 1,229 immigrants in the county; statewide, more than 6,600 immigrants were arrested.
The high number of arrests has puzzled local immigrant advocates, experts and former lawmakers, who say they expected its neighboring counties to the south to have more arrests because Miami-Dade and Broward are home to larger immigrant populations.

Miami singer-songwriter Fabiola Canelon (@fabiiimusica) likes to get creative during her live performance — by improvising.
The 23-year-old goes by Fabiii on stage and mixes genres like reggae, R&B and funk.
Fabiii recently joined WLRN’s Natu Tweh in the studio to talk about her submission to NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest — where she showcased her improv skills.
She spoke about her upbringing in Valencia, Venezuela, and how creating social media content helped her grow as an artist. And of course, we also put her improv skills to the test during the interview.
🎧 We're showcasing our favorite South Florida submissions for this year's NPR Tiny Desk Contest, which aims to amplify the work of independent musicians. Find the full interviews with local musicians at WLRN.org/tiny-desk

The Broward County school board voted to scrap 1,000 roles to save money as part of a rescue mission for its financial wellbeing.
Superintendent Howard Hepburn and some school board members have often spoken about the need to downsize district staff to make it proportional to shrinking student enrollment.
The proposal had provoked intense outcry from employees and the community, begging board members to reconsider.
Broward County Public Schools, the sixth largest school district in the country, has 187,800 students. The district predicts that by the 2030-31 school year, it'll have 25,700 fewer students than that. The decline in enrollment, which has been playing out for two decades, comes at a staggering financial cost to the district as state funds depend on student head-count. BCPS faces a shortfall of nearly $100 million.
"These cuts are the beginning, not the end," Board member Allen Zeman said. "And these cuts came because Florida does not fund education according to the constitutional rule that says they'll fund high quality education, plain and simple."

For Broward County artist, Adam David, auditioning for a major program is nothing new.
As a winner of the NBC singing competition, The Voice, David has quite the experience under his belt. Still, he sees every competition as an opportunity for growth as an individual and an artist.
WLRN’s Natu Tweh spoke with David about his entry to NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest, which, in addition to playing an NPR Tiny Desk concert, has the winner headline a U.S. tour featuring other standout musicians from the Contest community.
He talked about his introduction to music, auditioning for The Voice and recovering from addiction.

As measures to protect sea turtles ebb and flow, the turtle’s “lost years” spent out at sea after they hatch on beaches along Florida and around the tropics have remained a tricky factor in conservation efforts.
Now, a new study has found a surprising place where their secret lives can be archived: the shells on their backs.
Using the same technology to date dinosaurs and early humans, the team confirmed radio carbon dating can more precisely tell them the timing of changes in scutes — the segments on their shells. Importantly, knowing that rate of change can shed light on impacts from hazards, including oil spills, red tides and sargassum invasions, which can take a lasting toll on the ocean’s long-lived turtles.
WLRN’s Jenny Staletovich spoke to Bethan Linscott, one of the study’s lead authors and an assistant professor at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School.
