We will be writing letters to people in prison and jail after a brief presentation on incarceration in the United States and the breadth of the prison system. We also have all the supplies you need to write a letter- pads of paper, pens, envelopes and stamps.
Why write letters to people in prison.
The United States is unparalleled historically and ranks among the highest worldwide in its dependence on incarceration. (Over 2 million people in state and federal prisons and jails). Over five million people in total are under supervision by the criminal legal system. Of these, nearly two million people, disproportionately Black people, are living in prisons and jails instead of their communities. People in prison are people from our communities and deserve support, consideration and communication with the outside world.
This event is free.
