Jail Brakers, the agency that offers support to
families with incarcerated loved ones,
and the Social Justice Committee of the
Unitarian Universalist Congregation in McHenry are partnering to present A Day
at Statesville in conjunction with the Changing Minds Campaign.
The program will be presented at 2 pm, Sunday, February 24 at the church,
5603 Bull Valley Road in McHenry.
A Day at Stateville is a play illustrating a newcomer’s
first day as an inmate at the notorious Stateville Correctional Facility
developed by inmates who are currently facing life sentences without the possibility
of parole. “This play’s objective is to inspire community leaders to take
action to decrease the increasing number of youths entering the prisons and to
advocate the improvement of prisons current conditions,” according to Jail Brakers
Executive Director Cheryl Niemo.
A musical performance by The Siblings will precede the play.
A $10
donation is requested to defray the expenses of the program.
For more information contact Cheryl

office at 815 322-2464.
