Join us for a free documentary screening and discussion of Stateville Calling at First Presbyterian Church of Libertyville.
The elderly population in jails across the country has been growing at a higher rate than any other group of prisoners, and it’s placed a financial and practical stress on a prison system already struggling to provide adequate care to the incarcerated. At the same time, this group of prisoners is the least likely to reoffend if released.
Stateville Calling takes the viewer from the Illinois state capitol to the tobacco fields of Kentucky and inside Logan Correctional Center, the all-women’s prison in downstate Illinois, to profile activism efforts working to allow long-term prisoners the possibility of clemency or parole.
Panel discussion to follow viewing!
Sponsored by State Representative Mary Edly-Allen and hosted by Rev. Ryan Wallace of First Presbyterian Church of Libertyville
