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!

Twenty to Life: Essays of a man’s journey to change through his incarceration

By David Steece, with photographs by Steaven M. Valley 

While serving a twenty-year sentence for murder in the Idaho prison system, Dave Steece underwent a profound transformation. 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.

 Dear Me: Writers in Idaho Prisons Reach Out to Their 12-Year-Old Selves.

This book began with an exercise in a creative writing class at Idaho State Correctional Institute. The prompt was: Pretend that for the next ten minutes, a magic portal going back in time has opened such that you can write a letter to your 12-year-old self. The results were fascinating, touching, and wildly diverse… And now, you can purchase it!
