You are reading the blog for the Loyola edition of the publication Stateville Speaks.
Loyola students are working together to edit, design and publish a special edition of Stateville Speaks, a print publication written in collaboration with current Illinois prisoners about topics in criminal justice and prison life.
We thank the School of Communication and the Department of Criminal Justice of Loyola University Chicago for supporting this effort. We are especially grateful to Elizabeth Coffman for bringing this project to Loyola and guiding us along the way. And huge thanks to Bill Ryan and Cynthia Kobel for your ongoing help, and for giving us this amazing opportunity.
Thank You
We especially appreciate our guest speakers including Jennifer Bishop Jenkins, Nicole Ferentz, Tim McLean, Reginald Berry, Sr., Lester Manzano, Mindy Faber, Julia Lieblich, and Darrell Cannon who contributed valuable insights and perspectives, and impacted us greatly.
