I recall that my college station had a rather receptive prison audience at the time. They would frequently phone in requests.

What did they request?

Jailhouse Rock by Elvis Presley? 

"Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash?

"Chain Gang" by Sam Cooke?

"Escape" by Rupert Holmes?

Heh. As I recall, thrash metal was preferred, though they often called the afternoon pop shows (presumably to chat up the girls).
