On Saturday, September 2, 7:30 PM at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, you will hear the prose and poetry of the most eloquent prisoners in America. Will you listen by attending this FREE multimedia show?
While the prisoner writers and poets cannot be there in person to speak their words, their writings will be read by elected officials and prominent justice advocates. At the same time, a prison video will be shown and live music performed of authentic prison sounds.
Please plan on attending to network, to be inspired and to show your support.
