Tekla Dennison Miller, former prison warden, and now writer, will be speaking at San Juan College in Farmington New Mexico Tuesday, November 6 at 11:30 AM on Prisons and Prisoners. Contact Connie Jacobs, PhD at 505-566-3235 or JacobsC@SanJuanCollege.edu.
Tekla is coming to speak to my English 095 class on the death penalty and the novel, A Place to Stand by Jimmy Santiago Baca. He was in prison, illiterate, and was “saved” through language and poetry. I always invite any other students to attend. I especially target Psychology, Sociology, and Human Service students.
