Sentences: Writings About Mass Incarceration

Sentences is a project to investigate mass incarceration—from arrest, to jail time, to prison sentence, and beyond. By supporting Sentences, you will be funding my look into the dark corners of prison to uncover the secrets the authorities don’t want you to know.

Support Abolition Journalism

For 20 years, I’ve been writing articles by listening to the stories of people wronged by police or hidden away behind prison walls. These people are not voiceless, they just need someone to believe in them. By supporting my Substack newsletter, you are showing that you hear their stories. You want to envision a world beyond police and prisons.  

I’m making a renewed effort to push my writing into new arenas. You can support my investigative journalism by making a $5 monthly subscription, or annual $50 contribution.  I’ll send updates once or twice a month that will go directly to your inbox. Follow me in my process as I write about mass incarceration.
