IDAHO STATE MUSEUM
- Having spent 25 years inside, Michael Copenhaver now runs the wildly successful Resident Peer Mentoring Program at IDOC.
- T.J. Harter attended Michael’s writing class at ISCI a couple years ago. He was released from prison in August. Among other things, he’s a master crochet artist, and now runs his own landscaping company.
- This year, we’re including a voice from IDOC: Jay Christensen retired in the fall of 2021, having been at IDOC for over 30 years. Most recently, he was the warden of Idaho’s biggest prison, ISCC.
- We’re fortunate to have Rachael Meyer, who’s a resident at SICI, and a peer mentor, come (with IDOC’s assistance) to tell her story.
- We’ll also be reading from the work of a few people currently incarcerated: Jason Burdett, Josh King, and Ty Clements.
- The amazing Chris Shanahan, who is on our Board of Directors, and who has presented the last two years, will be our M.C.!
