I can say things do change if you believe they will.

I have been in and out of prison for the last 21 years. All my life, things happen to me. I try not to think about it a lot in order to put them in the past. In 2019, I lost someone close and special to me, my Nan, she was a church vicar. She changed my life by giving me a large sum of money. I have two children that play a big part in my life. I read the Bible every day and God plays a big part in my life. Over the last few months, I have started to review things in my life and I am starting to change, for the better. I can say things do change if you believe they will.

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.
