The University of Oklahoma Carceral Studies Consortium is pleased to host a special screening of Grey Matter: A Documentary Exploring Female Incarceration in Oklahoma, followed by a panel discussion and special reading of poetry and essays written by people incarcerated in Oklahoma.
The event will take place on Thursday, November, 4th at 7:00 pm in the Heritage Room on the second floor of the Oklahoma Memorial Union on the University of Oklahoma Campus.
From the filmmakers: “Grey Matter explores an advanced writing cohort inside Mabel Bassett — Oklahoma’s largest maximum security prison for women. Oklahoma incarcerates more women than anywhere else in the world; we incarcerate at double the national average and this number is only expected to rise with the current legislation. It’s time to give a voice and hope to the voiceless.”
Panel participants include:
