Incarcerated individuals at the Nebraska State Penitentiary (NSP) are participating in the Hero's Journey Prison Writing Project.
The Hero's Journey Prison Writing Project is a volunteer-based writing program intended to help inmates explore their lives more honestly, reinterpret their motives and behaviors so they might have a more beneficial incarceration and, ultimately, be one of the programs which facilitates their successful transition into society.
