back to this poem.
THE OFFICIAL PODCAST HOME
Kyle Hulbert writes and records from Buckingham Correctional Center about mental health, institutional life, survival, books, accountability, strange questions, and the life of the mind behind bars.
Grounded in Kyle's Prison Audio interview
This conversation searches Kyle's time-coded interview and verified public identity. It stays inside his recorded account.
This is an AI recreation—not a live line to Kyle and not mental-health treatment. It uses his own interview, says when it does not know, and never substitutes for professional or crisis care.

Kyle's disclosed AI voice clone is generated privately on the Prison Audio PC. No substitute voice is used.
Mental health from the inside
