Writing Saved My Life

InsideOut Writers Video

This semester, Spring 2014, a student registered for The Beat Within NMSU course, who is also a JJOCE student shared the following video with the class.  That semester we focused on the Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program.  In our research that summer we also found out about a program of similar name but unique in its history and approach called the InsideOut Writers program.  Check out the video above, shared with us by Armando that provides more information on the program.  What's interesting over the years is stumbling across other detention focused creative arts community based programs and how many things each of these programs have in common simply based on their program names.  Hopefully we'll see concepts such as the InsideOut Writers intersect with concepts such as the Inside-Out Prison Exchange program.  

I plan on updating this blog often.  Each semester focuses on the class that is taking place that semester, which is reason for the delayed posts here.  This summer will be sharing resources from past summers as well as reconnecting some classmates that are either enrolled in new courses or keeping in touch.
