Give incarcerated journalists a voice in discussions about criminal legal reform.
Writers behind bars have first amendment rights, but their incarceration restricts their ability to do journalism because they are not physically free.

These are the stories behind their stories.
Today most stories about prison are written with an outside perspective. Take the power of journalism into your own hands, learn the craft of journalistic storytelling and share your stories of life behind bars.
