DESCRIPTION:A not-to-miss evening with Nigel Poor and Earlonne Woods in celebration of 
 their book This Is Ear Hustle: Unflinching Stories of Everyday Prison Life, 
 moderated by Piper Kerman, author of Orange Is the New Black: My Year in A 
 Women's Prison. \n\nNigel Poor is the co-creator, co-host, and co-producer 
 of Ear Hustle (PRX & Radiotopia). A visual artist and photography professor 
 at California State University, Sacramento, her work has exhibited 
 nationally and internationally, including at the SFMOMA and de Young Museum 
 in San Francisco and the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. In 
 2011, Poor got involved with San Quentin State Prison as a volunteer 
 teacher for the Prison University Project.\n\nEarlonne Woods is the 
 co-creator, co-host, and co-producer of Ear Hustle (PRX & Radiotopia). In 
 1997, Woods was sentenced to thirty-one years to life in prison. While 
 incarcerated, he received his GED, attended Coastline Community College, 
 and completed many vocational programs. He also founded CHOOSE1, which aims 
 to repeal the California Three Strikes Law, the statute under which he was 
 sentenced. In November 2018, then-California Governor Jerry Brown commuted 
 Woods' sentence after twenty-one years of incarceration and he became a 
 full-time producer for Ear Hustle. His efforts with CHOOSE1 continue, as he 
 advocates for restorative justice and works to place a repeal initiative on 
 the ballot in 2022.\n\nPiper Kerman is the author of the memoir Orange is 
 the New Black. The book has been adapted by Jenji Kohan into an Emmy 
 Award-winning original series for Netflix, which ran for seven seasons. 
 Kerman collaborates with nonprofits, philanthropies, and other 
 organizations working in the public interest and serves on the board of 
 directors of the Women's Prison Association and the advisory boards of the 
 PEN America Writing For Justice Fellowship, InsideOUT Writers, Healing 
 Broken Circles, and JustLeadershipUSA.\n\nFree. Hybrid event. Registration
