A Safe Place to Tell Your Story
The suicide rates among jailed detainees are three times higher than those in the prison population, and over half of jail suicides occur within the first week of incarceration.
WRITE TO HOPE seeks to reach jailed detainees in this most vulnerable stage of incarceration and allow them, through therapeutic mindful writing, to explore their thoughts, emotions and experiences through the written word in a safe and supportive environment.
Voices from Jail
WRITE TO HOPE has curated and published a collection of over one hundred micro-short stories written by men and women being held in county jails.
The writings allow the reader to become a compassionate witness into the lives of jailed individuals and come away with an understanding of the background, humanity and hope inherent in each story.
An Opportunity to Recast One’s Destiny
WRITE TO HOPE connects detainees with community partners who provide housing services, food banks, mental health counseling, education, and job resources, ensuring that when the detainees hit the street, they know the route to re-entry success and beyond.
Your Support Matters
Your WRITE TO HOPE contribution creates a ripple effect that radiates love, wisdom, and countless “right actions” that lead to very real shifts in the life of a detainee.
