PCAP’s programming during Covid-19 crisis
Much of PCAP’s regular programming takes place inside prisons. In the current moment, when volunteers are shut out of all prisons in Michigan due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are developing a series of pilot programs that can be conducted remotely.
These programs will rely on physical correspondence as we receive art and writing from incarcerated people and respond with feedback and other ideas. A $50 donation to PCAP will support the correspondence costs between a PCAP volunteer and an incarcerated creator for one year.
In the summer of 2020, a team of formerly incarcerated people, faculty, and students are working together to create a new series of short videos, entitled Lessons from Loss of Privilege, in which formerly incarcerated people offer strategies for surviving this time of anxiety and sheltering in place. A $100 donation to PCAP will help to compensate one formerly incarcerated contributor to the video series.
