Students Behind Bars: The Voices of Community Healers

Every month we will feature the scholarship of McCormick SBI students who are detained at the Cook County Department of Corrections. Our aim is to celebrate their brilliance as student scholars while also changing the harmful and toxic narratives assigned to people behind bars. We invite you to be inspired and activated to join us in changing the narrative.

This month we have a prayer from SBI student Stacy Krisik. Stacy was apart of a summer workshop that explored the biblical genre of lament in the Psalms and delved into the function that laments play in worship. Students were tasked with writing their own prayers of lament, and this is Stacy’s.
