Just the fingers of one hand are enough for me to count the few people who, after 22 years in prison, are still with me. It comforts me to know I only have 1 year and a half left to get out of prison. I have a sister who visits me 3 to 4 times a year and I am grateful to her. I believe love is beautiful and even though I don’t have a partner, I have love because God is in my life. What I like about me, is that I don’t promise something I know I can’t keep. Out there I miss everyday life, even the air is very different in here. The only thing that makes my day better, is the hope that tomorrow will be a better day. May God bless you and I hope to hear from 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.
