Prisons Have A Long Memory:
Life Inside Oregon's Oldest Prison
Over seventy thousand children in Oregon are
impacted by incarceration.
These children have questions they may be afraid
to pose to their families.
Wilson and Shlapp assembled Ground Beneath Us
at Oregon State Penitentiary, mentoring men in
writing about life inside using questions posed by
middle and high school students as a springboard.
Results are seen in poetry, essays, and memoir
that present a picture of life at OSP and the
exploration of internal struggle to atone, find
peace and create community.
Prisons Have A Long Memory will be presented in
prisons and neighboring communities throughout
Oregon thanks to support from the Spirit Mountain
Community Fund, Oregon Humanities, Oregon Arts
Commission, and the Nations Endowment for Arts.
