Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
Watch the chilling story of how corrections officer Fraley survives being taken hostage by two inmates in an Arizona prison. She endures physical, psychological and emotional abuse for 15 days, and lives to tell about it.
The single mom and her now 12-year-old daughter talk about the ordeal, and Fraley describes moments of terror — and even frustrations with the negotiators.
