Alex Kotlowitz Community Read Event
Thursday, October 17th at 7pm
at Lakeshore Middle School

New Location: St. Patrick-St. Anthony Parish, 920 Fulton St. (corner of Fulton and US 31) in Grand Haven.

Humanity for Prisoners is thrilled to welcome best-selling author Alex Kotlowitz to West Michigan to raise awareness of issues within our criminal justice system and to highlight the important work of our organization.

Kotlowitz, author of "There Are No Children Here," "The Other Side of the River," "Never a City So Real," and "American Summer," was a friend of the late Maurice Carter, and readily accepted HFP’s invitation! He has a personal interest in prisons. In 2016 he worked with inmates of Illinois’ Stateville Prison writing essays about their lives in cells, now featured in the podcast "Written Inside."

Tickets for the event are $25 in advance, $15 for students and $30 at the door. Tickets are available at The Bookman or online at humanityforprisoners.org/alex-kotlowitz.html.
