Inside and Out: Queer Histories From Prison and After brings together a group of gay, bisexual, trans and queer storytellers who have lived experience with criminal incarceration, as well as queer/allied professors from the USC Dornsife Writing Program who have been working with these authors through the Prison Education Project Readers' Circle and a community writing workshop for formerly incarcerated people living at The Francisco Homes.

Out of these collaborations have come several projects including short documentaries and print publications, which not only document the experiences of queer people before, during, and after their time in prison, but also showcase important moments of joy, celebration, knowledge-making, remembrance and love. 

This program will showcase highlights from these partnerships, which include two documentary shorts, and new and published readings from writers John Sanchez, Daryl Thompson, Jeremy Sims, and Joanna Nixon. The program will conclude with a panel discussion with these writers and a brief audience Q&A.
