We must act as if our institutions are ours to create, our learning is ours to define, our leadership we seek is ours to become.

“better health care while you are in and when you get out”
Prison Health News is produced by a Philadelphia-based collective of editors and includes the work of imprisoned artists and writers.
SQ News prints 35,000 newspapers each month and distributes them to all 30+ CDCR prisons, four juvenile facilities, university and public libraries and unincarcerated donors.
Information about the prison system is limited, and policy makers and voters are shaping the lives of incarcerated people without their input. We’re bringing transparency to the world of mass incarceration from the inside.

American Prison Writing Archive
The American Prison Writing Archive (APWA) shares the writings of those affected by the U.S. carceral system. The APWA is an open access archive and anyone with first-hand experience inside US carceral institutions today is eligible to submit essays. This includes prison employees and volunteers, who materially shape the day-to-day conditions in which incarcerated people live, and who are in turn deeply affected by their work. Read the reflections of others or leave your own.
