Poetic Justice California currently teaches in the following facilities:
California Institution for Women, where Voices On The Inside was born and where we teach both In-Person and Distance Learning classes.
Central California Women’s Facility, which is the second largest women’s facility in the US, is where we currently teach Distance Learning and will be starting our in-person classes soon.
Las Colinas Detention and Reentry Facility, which is the only women’s jail in San Diego is where we teach in-person classes in various units, some of which have no other programming available.
If you are interested in volunteering as a writing partner or facilitating an in-person class, please send an email to infoca@poeticjustice.org

“It’s the best part of our week”
“I carry all the real sadness I see in here when mothers can’t be with their kids or just the small things like wanting to eat something good I hold on to it all so one day I can pass it to someone who cares about my struggles and every thing I carry in my life”
