Yet another state decision that a prison journalist should stay in prison. My friend is 65, poses no threat to society, is surrounded by support, and has a job offer if he were to come home. This is the absolute worst part of doing this work.

Check out this amazing work from my talented friend, the incarcerated artist Corey Devon Arthur, and most importantly BUY his work to #StopCopCity

Freelancers know how rare it is to find a publication that pays well, on time, and with respect. The Appeal doesn't just do that - they hire, pay + support incarcerated writers who have been shut off and shut down from so many pubs. PLEASE throw them a few bucks if you can!

Those who are brave enough to practice journalism in prison often encounter the most aggressive intimidation and retaliation from prison administrators and guards. shadowproof.com/2023/09/19/fro…

I was honored to be able to work with Demetrius Buckley on this haunting story about motherhood and heritage. Thank you to Emily Nonko for the support in the editing process.

Excited to be a part of this! It's been an incredible four years seeing what is possible when outside journalists team up with incarcerated journalists to tell stories about prison.
