Company Profile

Company Description:

PJP is a fast-growing independent, non-partisan, non-profit startup initiative that aims to develop the first 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. We see an opportunity to address the critical and urgent need for accurate information by connecting the dots between prisons across the country, bringing transparency to an opaque industry, and asserting the rights of prison journalists. 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.
