Volume 17, Issue 1 (2017) Special Issue: Telling My Story: Voices from the Wyoming Women’s Prison
This special issue features the dynamic results of feminist collaborative work by Wyoming Pathways from Prison (WPfP), a trans-disciplinary and trans-professional statewide collaborative that supports currently and formerly incarcerated people in navigating the waters of higher education and life more generally. WPfP works in close collaboration with the Wyoming Department of Corrections with the primary goals of offering college credit to incarcerated people at no cost, mentoring students in teaching and leadership, engaging in valuable service to the state of Wyoming, and providing UW students with real-world experience through teaching and assistance to the DOC. Featuring 22 self-reflective pieces by currently and formerly incarcerated women as well as those who worked closely with them, the strength and sheer force of the writing featured here demonstrates how higher education in correctional settings has the power to transform lives, both within and outside prison walls.Articles
