Last year at Storyfort, we had a standing-room only crowd — many of whom were left in tears. This year, we’ve assembled three amazing writers — recently and currently incarcerated — who will be presenting on FRIDAY MARCH 24 at 3:30 p.m., at the Idaho State History Museum. This event is completely FREE and requires no ticket or Treefort bracelet. The address: 610 Julia Davis Dr, Boise, ID 83702
Come listen to David Steece, Stephanie Wells, and others talk about life and justice — having experienced our complicated justice system first-hand. The event will be MC’d by the illustrious and hilarious Mark Person. Don’t miss it!

He entered the system as a white supremacist, and became a high ranking gang leader in the prison system, but in 2012, he had a profound revelation that made him question all his beliefs and assumptions — and this led him to renounce racism, and to begin to speak out against hatred.

The results were fascinating, touching, and wildly diverse… And now, you can purchase it!
We’re bringing transformative arts experiences to Idaho Prisons!
