I’m in prison for gross negligence of a firearm. On the street, I build houses. When I get out, I want to buy houses and fix them. I’m 65 years young, and I’ve not given up.

One thing I know is that I can’t do it by myself. God opened my eyes to something I want to share with the world. I realize the world faces difficulties and want to share my hope. If a situation seems too difficult, you must change your perspective. I prayed and asked God for a message to give. A mind dedicated to the world and its concerns will produce a life of stress, but the mind can be transformed into greater, spiritual thoughts.

Let’s share our experiences and come up with a solution. If we help one person, that person may help millions.

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.
