With You on the Journey: Families of People in Prison Tell Their Stories

With You on the Journey is a performance of monologues written by family members of people in prison. The performance was the culmination of six writing workshops which took place in the summer and was held at The First Unitarian Church of Portland on October 18th, 2015. This project was conceived of by Carol Imani, a college writing instructor who has taught creative writing in juvenile detention facilities and adult prison and it was funded by the Regional Arts and Cultural Council. The performance included 11 monologues by 10 family members. Prison Pipeline will be airing a recording of the performance in segments, the first two monologues will air on Monday, October 26th. These monologues are both about visiting and the emotional impact of incarceration, one was written by a sister, the other by a father.
