Did you know that PJP produces a unique educational magazine, PJP Inside, specifically for incarcerated writers across the nation?

Your support helps us deliver the magazine to readers on the inside.

Good morning, Bluesky! Our "In Case You Missed It" section has been refreshed. Take a look at our home page.

At a moment when marginalized voices are being silenced and a tougher stance on crime and incarceration is taking hold, we are equipping writers with the tools to tell their own stories and platform their work so they continue to be heard.

Hi Sally! I have a cousin puppy —he'll be 11 next month but he'll always be a puppy to me— that I raised for a year during covid. He's back with his human mom (my aunt) but I get summer visitation. Thanks to him, I don't fear dogs. He even tolerated me dressing him up for Christmas once. #TeamDogs

We shared this during our winter campaign. In 2024, we had the privilege of seeing several stories by PJP writers published in regional, national and international media outlets. Here's a look at PJP’s reach and impact

Historically, we could only reach 2,000 incarcerated individuals directly with each issue of PJP Inside. But now, thanks to a groundbreaking partnership with @edovo.bsky.social, PJP Inside is now available to 1 million incarcerated learners in over 1,200 prisons and jails nationwide.

We're 70% of the way there. Our campaign to add 200 new readers ends Tuesday, May 26. As a reminder, we train incarcerated writers to be journalists and publish their stories. Share our weekly newsletter, The Inside Story, with a friend!

Wali and PJP co-founder @yukarikane.bsky.social sky.social worked together, running San Quentin News' Journalism Guild, and he was one of she and @profpasha.bsky.social's biggest supporters and champions when they first launched the organization.
