ROOTS MEET BELOW THE CROSSROADS
RESOURCE 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 ROOTS MEET UNDER THE CROSSROADS
Bridgeworks Oregon’s writing program at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility in Wilsonville, Oregon produced the collaborative chapbook, Roots Meet Below the Crossroads with the women taking the lead to select themes and produce work that they refined over the time and finally, performed for their peers in the prison’s chapel. You can purchase a copy of the book through the link or download it for free below. | TDS
