“unable to touch
sad reflections of my past
but things are made new…”
― Sandi Maddox Hoot

Please meet us in the main building, straight back through parking lot, at 8:30. Please don’t wear blue. No t- shirts with logos (unless NW Noggin!). Comfortable closed toed shoes. No wire bras. Bring only an ID (and the approved supplies). There is a locker you can use for any other personal items.

NW Noggin volunteers will bring extra brains, skulls and art to the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility, a multi-custody prison accommodating all women inmates in Oregon. We’ll join Portland State University Studies professor Deb Arthur, who is teaching a year long course called “Metamorphosis” at CCCF.

“Women can earn four credits in science, four credits in arts and letters and three credits in writing — similar to a PSU freshman inquiry course — to set a foundation for a college degree.”

NW Noggin at the MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility, September 2019

Deb has taught a similar course at the MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility, where NW Noggin has met with young incarcerated youth on multiple occasions. We share her enthusiasm for going places, listening, and connecting people through visits, stories, learning, research, education, outreach and art.

From Mackenzie S. Kath, CCCF Executive Support to the Superintendent: “We are really looking forward to this event here at Coffee Creek! I don’t think I will be hungry afterwards, but I am still excited. :)”
