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.
