Philip Gates stands outside of the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles.
Faithful Bryant Park readers/listeners/viewers will remember the story of Philip Gates that we featured last month. Los Angeles radio producer Jim Gates told us about his experience shuttling his 70 year-old dad, Philip, to jail in downtown L.A. where he was scheduled to do some time. Philip was arrested in November of last year for protesting a U.S. Military school known to most folks as the School of the Americas. (Now called Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation.)
Well, after doing his time, Philip was released last Friday. Jim picked him up and they made a beeline for Philippe's, the legendary L.A. sandwich spot. Before he could dig in, we asked Philip Gates to give us the low down on his time in the clink. Check out the podcast — or the streaming audio link above.
Jim Gates did a whole feature on his experience with his dad — this is a direct link to the story.
