Our Mission

Our mission is to bring about structural changes to the oppressive legal and prison systems existing within the United States. American mass incarceration is largely carried out with the public’s blessings. That feat in itself is accomplished by a concerted effort from the media and political forces that seem to kowtow to the massive prison industry and it’s ancillary networks.

For hearts to change and minds to open, we must listen to—and actively engage with—new perspectives.

Thus, Captive Voices is a platform for the incarcerated, their families, well-wishers, and all who strive to prioritize human rights in this country and beyond.

Unlike other such forums that assist in amplifying the voices of the incarcerated, we are not simply a digest. We believe in and strive for advocacy! Therefore, we urge you to join us, and add your voices to become catalysts for change. The time is now, the world is listening. Do you have anything to say?
