Chick Joint
A New Play
Devised by Beth Watkins
Adapted from the Prison Correspondence of Jesse Carr
September, 2005
Jesse is a twenty-year-old college student about to enter federal prison. In a conscious act of civil disobedience, Jesse trespassed onto the property of the School of the Americas in Fort Benning, Georgia and was arrested along with 80 other human rights activists. Now Jesse faces incarceration in Alderson Prison, the oldest women’s prison in the United States, whose inmates have included Billie Holiday, Tokyo Rose and "Squeaky" Fromme. Chick Joint chronicles this story in an evening of theatrical exploration with movement, music, and testimony.
