North Country Bound is a play that explores the impact of prisons in the North Country from the viewpoint of retired New York State Corrections Officers and staff. Written by SUNY Potsdam Professor Rivka Rocchio, the staged reading tonight on ZOOM will include a Q&amp;A and is free to the public. Rocchio has taught Theatre and English in prisons, high schools, and middle schools and joins Jody Tosti today on “Community Connection.” Rivka does amazing work and I look forward to a longer conversation with her when we're all vaccinated and can sit down at my kitchen table.  https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10224551918042700&amp;set=a.3065371710543
