COR 306 2X - Prison Chronicles, Prisoner Stories

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 3
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 3

It isn’t called “doing time” for nothing. As the hours and unrelenting sameness of routines press in on incarcerated men and women, some struggle, often in isolation, with fundamental questions: Who am I and who could I become? Why am I here? Can I be forgiven? How can I forgive myself? What are the needs and opportunities of the world - this world and that world? What is my role in building a just and compassionate world? The search for answers to these questions is often addressed through writing. Students would also explore prisoner art and music/spoken word and raw - other expressions of story.

Prerequisite(s): Completion of COR 1 or COR 199 or COR 199 in progress; two full-time semesters of college credit, excluding retro credits, AP credits, and college credit earned while in high school.
