About this listen

Former crime reporter Debra Des Vignes has gone beyond the headlines to understand and reform the minds of those behind bars. While volunteering inside a prison, Debra discovered the profound impact creative writing had on incarcerated individuals. This inspired her to form the Indiana Prison Writers Workshop, a course that allows participants to process past traumas, express remorse, and develop greater self-awareness. She discusses the transformations she has witnessed and explains why she transitioned away from news reporting to focus on the human story behind the crime. Learn more about your ad choices.
