It's a creative writing class but the classroom is behind bars.
Female inmates at the Douglas County Jail are expressing themselves
through writing and some of the work as been published. Iris
Wilkinson teaches the class. She says the inmates are generally
minimum security and are there because of alcohol or drug related
offenses. The collection of poems, essays, and short stories are
featured in a book called "Women of Colour" which is available at the
Raven Bookstore in Lawrence.
