My lifelong commitment is to serve others and give back the compassion I’ve received.
People do change—I’ve felt it myself after three decades of incarceration. Many in my life have moved on, passed away, or become distant. Yet, through these changes, I remain deeply grateful to God for the kindness and love that have touched my soul and shaped the person I am today.
My lifelong commitment is to serve others and give back the compassion I’ve received.
Alone, but not completely, Alberto
Every month, a physical envelope arrives at your door, postmarked from San Quentin Village, California. Inside, you will find original artwork, writing, and recipes from real contributors, along with a personal letter from me, Diane Kahn, founder of Humans of San Quentin, about the people who made them. You read it. You keep it.
Every piece comes from someone serving a sentence. Every piece reminds you they are so much more than that.
