I’m serving a two-year term for possession of ammunition and being a felon.

My favorite pastime in here is laughing! I swear the best laughs of my life have been right here. The girl’s crazy late-night stories in here make it easier to fall asleep after a good belly laugh! I miss the water, swimming and paddle boarding took up most of my free time outside. I’ll be happy to see my boyz when I get home! Time is our most precious possession, so when someone writes me a letter and takes the time to share their day or whatever with me, it means the world to me, so thank you.

These stories arrive by mail.

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.
