Truthworker Theatre Company is excited to partner with the End New Jim Crow Action Network, The Sadie Peterson Delaney African Roots Library, Vassar College, Arts Mid Hudson, and Family Services to offer IN|PRISM to the Vassar community!

IN|PRISM: Boxed In & Blacked Out in America, an original hip-hop theatre production Directed by Samara Gaev, examines the impacts & practices of solitary confinement in US prisons, tracing one man’s remarkable capacity for liberation within the walls of death row. We have the unique and humbling opportunity to be working directly with Jarvis Jay Masters, an innocent man on death row, who has been incarcerated since the age of 19 in San Quentin Prison & institutionalized since he was a young boy.
