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.
