It takes courage and nerves to talk in public about your time in jai. A common myth in our community is that people in jail are bad. Stigma and discrimination are among many factors affecting someone’s ability to resettle after release. People describe their journeys so that others understand.

Tonight’s Jailbreak is brought to you by the color black, in shades so many you
thought not possible. It’s what you get when you cross time inside with a black felt tip pen. A full scale solo exhibition, the first for artist Deb who still believes she can’t draw. Tune in and hear how tiny dots and circles transform into gothic, medieval like dragons and twisted trees that tell her story.
