Why should we read stories by incarcerated writers? Because incarcerated people deserve to have their experiences heard in their own words. These stories offer perspectives you won’t get from headlines, statistics or secondhand accounts. (Had to fix a typo.)

All around, mail scanning policies are a failure. They focus on supply rather than on demand, and fail to staunch the flow of drugs and address the underlying issues that inspire it. They also compound the problem by cutting off vital support systems, inflicting more trauma.
