About Prison Renaissance

Prison Renaissance was co-founded by three incarcerated people who identified the need for a new institution to support abolition: prison programs that don’t involve prison administrators. We need prison programs that contribute to making prisons obsolete, and prison programs will never do that as long as prison administrators control them. Prison Renaissance’s program goals are to use arts, media, and technology to connect incarcerated people to the communities that need them. Centering the voices of incarcerated people is paramount to ongoing debates regarding criminal justice reform and the organization’s work aims for a cultural shift that celebrates the insights of incarcerated people in both activist and creative circles.
