With You on the Journey: Families of People in Prison Tell Their Stories, Part 2

With You on the Journey was 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 aired on Monday, October 26th. The second two will air on December 28th, both of these monologues were written by mothers about their experiences during the incarceration of their sons.
