LISTEN & RESPOND: DARKENED ROAD AHEAD
SELF-GUIDED STUDY DESIGNED TO BRIDGE PRISON WALLS
Bridgeworks Oregon is working with Edovo.org (the free platform on prison tablets) to design and publish resources and self-guided study courses for folks inside and their family and friends. We were inspired by Enrique Bautista, who for years purchased a book for himself and one for his daughter so they could read and discuss it in their visits. We believe crossover activities in the humanities provide much needed shared experiences for everyone — and we feel that is critical to cultivate creative expression for people in prison.
ABOUT DARKENED ROAD AHEAD
Bridgework’s own Danny Wilson wrote these songs after the first tour of Oregon Prisons while he was playing Johnny Cash’s music and meeting folks inside. When he finished recording the album, he intended to start the third prison tour to play this record. That was March 2020 …
This course uses the record Darkened Road Ahead as vehicle to consider the life of Johnny Cash and his prison concerts. This 30-page downloadable PDF corresponds with the course on the Edovo tablets under the heading Bridgeworks Oregon courses. You can download the record from any of the usual places, or purchase it on Bandcamp. The course and the music are free on Edovo for folks inside. Try a few activities and share the resulting writing with a friend or family member.
Think of these courses as a bit of an experiment. We will appreciate any and all feedback to make the courses better, more fun, easier to use. | TDS
