Who We Are |
Friends of San Quentin News is a nonprofit organization that seeks to humanize those stigmatized by incarceration and to empower them to build and run their own media platforms so that their true voices are heard. Society and the media are dominated by negative portrayals of the incarcerated. We seek to counter the prevailing narrative by elevating the stories of this marginalized community engaged in its collective rehabilitation and professional achievement, which reduces recidivism and promotes public safety. By faithfully documenting their successes, challenges, and struggles for fairness within the confines of incarceration, policymakers and the public can see the incarcerated in a new light that inspires hope in the opportunity for redemption and restoration.
