About this listen
The Art Persists podcast is back with Season 8! Kicking off the new season, we’re joined by Dione Roach and Steve Happi (aka Vidou H), founders of Jail Time Records - a music label born inside the Central Prison of Douala, Cameroon.
In this episode, Dione and Steve share the remarkable story of how the label came to life: from Dione’s early workshops in the prison, to Steve’s unjust 18-month pre-trial detention, and the collaboration that followed. Since its founding in July 2018, Jail Time Records has transformed the lives of incarcerated artists, offering them not just a creative outlet but a path toward reintegration.
The project has since expanded with a studio outside the prison in Douala, and most recently, a new recording facility inside Ouagadougou’s prison in Burkina Faso.
