The iPod of America’s Prisons
I’m not sure Sony would consider this a ringing endorsement of one of their products–but it is very, very popular. From The New Yorker:
The pocket analog radio, known by the bland model number SRF-39FP, is a Sony “ultralight” model manufactured for prisons. Its clear housing is meant to prevent inmates from using it to smuggle contraband, and, at under thirty dollars, it is the most affordable Sony radio on the prison market.
As a radio guy, I find this fascinating. Keep going.
