We launched the project this past Sunday on Sista Soul's Radio show on KHSU and by Tuesday morning we received 8 letters from inmates at Pelican Bay State Prison. The letters are GREAT! They are funny, powerful and potent... the stuff that makes great theater.
Our first writing prompt was to write a rant from the height of an emotional state. We asked that the inmates write their one page rant without lifting their pen to pause or edit, but instead to write write write.
We will be on Sista's Place this coming Sunday, November 15th at 3:30pm. Listen in for some good soul and to hear us give out the next writing prompt.
