Carceral Injustice: On the Stage & On the Page. Image On Thursday, August 25, please join the Pulitzer Center in partnership with MUSE and the University of North Carolina School of the Arts for a conversation about the U.S. carceral system and the panelists’ work to shed light on its injustices. The panel at UNCSA will feature playwright Sarah Shourd and actors Anthony Jefferson and John Neblett from The BOX End of Isolation Tour, as well as Phoebe Zerwick, author of Beyond Innocence: The Life Sentence of Darryl Hunt. The End of Isolation Tour is bringing live performances of The BOX across the country. The BOX is a play about the loneliness, sensory deprivation, and torture of solitary confinement in U.S. prisons. The tour aims to enact political change and engage people to promote healing through drama and artistic ritual. The tour will stop in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, August 25-27.

In 2003, journalist Phoebe Zerwick wrote an eight-part investigative series in The Winston-Salem Journal about the case of Darryl Hunt, a Black man who had been wrongfully convicted of murder and had served 19 years in prison. Many close to the case believe her work was crucial in his exoneration which occurred just months later.
