Stateville Calling: Screening and Panel Discussion
@ First Presbyterian Church of Libertyville
219 W Maple Ave, Libertyville, IL60048
Opening Friday, March 6th, from 5PM - 7PM
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
Call 224-206-7647 for any questions!
