Welcome to the Prison Awareness Blog
Discover the truth about prison life, incarceration, and justice reform. The Prison Awareness Blog dives deep into every aspect of the system—from prison food, canteen access, and visitation to staff abuse, violations of inmate rights, and the realities of gang life. We bring you real stats, facts, and stories about reentry, parole, and the ongoing fight for restorative justice. Learn how incarceration impacts mental health, families, and minority communities while exploring the laws and reforms that can truly change the system.
Step Inside the Walls: Life Behind Bars
Prison isn’t just a building—it’s a system of confinement and control. Here, we pull back the curtain on every corner of incarceration: the food they serve, canteen restrictions, visitation rules, the underground world of prison gangs, and the stark realities of daily life behind bars.
Laws, Reform, and Justice
We tackle it all—from laws currently trapping people in cycles of incarceration to the prison reforms desperately needed to restore justice, fairness, and humanity. This is a space for learning, questioning, and advocating for criminal justice reform and restorative justice.
The Human Cost of Incarceration
We shine a light on the negative impacts of prison life:
- Neglect of mental health care
- Lack of treatment for substance use disorders
- Prevalence of violence inside prisons
- Disproportionate effects on minority communities
- Connections between high incarceration rates and higher mortality
We tell the stories often ignored—the suffering of individuals, the struggles of their families, and the human cost of a system built on punishment instead of healing and rehabilitation.
Supporting Reentry and Rehabilitation
Our mission goes beyond awareness. We advocate for restorative justice, pushing for a system that rehabilitates rather than punishes. We explore the challenges of reentering society, navigating probation and parole, and overcoming barriers to rebuilding life after release.
