We invite you to attend and listen to individuals sharing their stories of life before, within, and outside of incarceration. These stories illustrate the many issues surrounding our prison system.
Learn how you can become involved in the organizations that provide services for inmates and those trying to rebuild their lives after serving time.
"Hear Our Stories: The Life and Afterlife of Incarceration” is sponsored by St. Luke’s United Methodist Church in Indianapolis, Storytelling Arts of Indiana, and Trusted Mentors with generous support from The Indianapolis Foundation an affiliate of CICF, and the Nicholas H. Noyes Jr. Memorial Foundation.
The Spades Park Branch was built with funds from a $120,000 grant by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation and opened in 1912, six months after the opening of the city’s other remaining Carnegie Library, the East Washington Branch. The 7,500-square-foot branch underwent a $610,000 renovation in 1987 and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012.
