7-23-13: Inmates stopping crimes on the outside, canine blood donors, and Baltimore sports news




WYPR: Maryland Morning with Sheilah Kast Podcast show

Summary: What do people in prison, sentenced there for crimes, have to contribute to stopping crime in Maryland? An inmate in the Jessup Correctional Institution says they have a lot of wisdom to share. We learn about a symposium he and others are holding there to prevent violence among young people. Then, dogs sometimes need blood transfusions, just like humans. But canine blood is in short supply in Maryland. We learn how owners can sign their dogs up to be donors—and how to tell your dog’s blood type. And, we're coming up on the time of year that makes Baltimore sports fans’ minds explode—the Ravens and the O's playing at the same time! Tom Hall talks to sports journalist Mark Hyman about the Orioles pennant race and the Ravens prospects for another Super Bowl.
