Poetic Justice’s mission is to offer restorative writing and creative arts programs to individuals who are incarcerated in women’s prisons and jails.

Our vision is to offer opportunities for healing and growth by holding space to process trauma and rewrite personal narratives to transform the story of incarceration.

""I believe Poetic Justice gives us hope. Hope in ourselves, hope in our state, hope for change, hope for society, hope for women to overcome where we have been and what we've been told we are."

-Poetic Justice Participant
