A new program helps Fort Lyon residents tell their stories.
On a campus three hours southeast of Denver in the middle of nowhere, men and women walk across the quad.
Before 2010, the campus was a prison. In 2014, Fort Lyon Correctional Facility was refitted as Fort Lyon Supportive Residential Community, run by Colorado Coalition for the Homeless.
Write Denver is a collaborative writing project hosted by Lighthouse Writers Workshop. It is an ongoing exploration of place that weaves together walking tours and writing prompts.
In October 2015, Write Denver partnered with the Denver VOICE for a walk exploring the theme of “Then and Now.” VOICE vendors joined other community members on a two and half mile walk that took us from Colfax Ave. to Cheesman Park to a community garden.
