Prison Journalism Project

PJP is a fast-growing independent, non-profit journalism organization that aims to develop a national network of prison correspondents. We believe that the deep reforms that are necessary to fix the U.S. criminal justice system can only happen through informed, bipartisan public discourse about mass incarceration. Incarcerated people, who are talked about but are rarely heard from, must be a part of this conversation. Intentional, responsible and well-crafted journalism from within the incarcerated community can also break stereotypes, and provide timely information about conditions inside America’s many prisons.
