The Beat Within Interviews Pt. 1
by Lee Rhyanes

This interview was conducted in 2003 as part of a journal article titled “The Violence of Youth, The Presence of a Pen” for the NMSU Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program. The title was inspired from part 1 of Luis Rodriguez’s text Hearts & Hands, Creating Community in Violent Times, “The Violence of Youth, the Abscence of Elders”. Will Roy was the first person Lee Rhyanes interviewed upon finding out about The Beat through the website www.thebeatwithin.org.  The other interviews included Co-Founder/Director David Inocencio and a Beat staff at the time Michael Kroll. The interview was recorded over landline phone and transcribed by Rhyanes. An audio recording poem titled ((I Write)) is also archived at youtube.com/voicesbehindwalls.  This is the first audio recording posted from VBW in effort to begin development of the site's "Justice Archive" that will include audio recordings, writings, artworks, and sketches of photographs taken during VBW workshops hosted inside of juvenile detention.  Immediate links to the VBW Research Network, the VBW Justice Archive ((Audio)), and the full interview in PDF can be accessed below.  In order to read and see the interview you will need to have Adobe Reader which you can access for free at the following link: get.adobe.com/reader/.
