JustUs: Stories from the Frontlines of the Criminal Legal System

In collaboration with the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia, Motus JustUs monologists who were formerly incarcerated share powerful personal stories about the impact of the criminal legal system on their lives and families. Law enforcement, judges and the district attorneys co-read the stories of the JustUs monologists, standing for a moment in the shoes of someone formerly incarcerated. The presentation interweaves monologues with the musical resonances of Colorado’s Spirit of Grace. This unique performative collaboration focuses on the impact on juveniles.
