Welcome to Volume 1 of the Pathways from Prison journal, presented by the University of Wyoming Writing Center. This journal exists because too often, the voices of incarcerated people are silenced or distorted. The public rarely hears anything beyond the narrative of a conviction. But every person inside Wyoming’s prison system has a story and a voice. This journal is one small attempt to make space for some of those voices and to challenge the limits of what we think we know.
