Show up with us.
The Peaceful Prisons Project tells the story first, then invites people in. If you believe connection should never depend on someone’s circumstances, here is how to help us keep showing up.
What generosity turned into.
Read at a visit, then taken home to keep the story going.
Goods and services given directly by the community, not bought.
Consistency is the whole point.
Recurring support is what lets us commit to a facility for a year instead of a visit. It is the most useful thing you can do for this work.
Puts books in hands
A book a family reads together during a visit, then takes home.
Sponsors backpacks
Release-day essentials so someone starts with more than nothing.
Sustains a program
Keeps one program running consistently inside a facility.
