Kathy McGregor founded the Prison Story Project in Fayetteville, AR in 2012. The Project has served incarcerated women and men in a storytelling/creative writing program. The work of participants is collated into a staged reading and presented first on the inside for those who wrote and then outside for the community.

In 2016, McGregor gained access to Arkansas's death row and the writing of the participants, performed by actors. The state of Arkansas resumed executions in 2017 and 4 of our writers where on the list of 8 men to be executed. "On the Row"  toured across the US from 2017 - 2019. McGregor, and the Prison Story Project, continue to support the remaining writers on death row.
