Join the Indiana Writers Center for an evening with writer and CNN Hero Debra Des Vignes as she explores the power of storytelling inside prison walls. Drawing from her work founding the Indiana Prison Writers Workshop, Debra invites participants to imagine the lived experience of incarceration, engage in a guided writing exercise, and reflect on the lessons learned from facilitating writing programs in jails and prisons. The evening will include discussion, audience sharing, and conversation about how writing builds dignity, agency, and human connection in places often unseen.
About the featured speaker:
Debra Des Vignes is the founder of Indiana Prison Writers Workshop, a creative writing workshop for those incarcerated offered in four states, including Indiana. As a former TV news reporter, Debra got her start at ABC-7 in Los Angeles, California, before embarking on a decade-long career as a journalist. She worked closely with law enforcement covering crime and courts in various TV markets: Pocatello, Idaho; Tallahassee, Florida; Birmingham, Alabama. She was recently honored as a 2025 CNN Hero.
