FreeWriters

FreeWriters is a non-profit organization based in the United States dedicated to empowering inmates within the county jail system. With a team of four employees, FreeWriters has generated over $2.5 million in revenue. Their mission focuses on providing inmates with creative writing opportunities that promote mental well-being and aim to reduce the likelihood of re-offending. The organization offers inmates access to creative writing workshops and resources designed to foster self-expression, emotional healing, and personal growth. By engaging in creative writing, inmates can explore their thoughts and feelings, develop coping mechanisms, and envision a future beyond incarceration. FreeWriters believes that these opportunities contribute to a more positive and transformative experience for individuals within the criminal justice system. FreeWriters distinguishes itself through its commitment to providing writing-based rehabilitation programs specifically tailored to the needs of incarcerated individuals. Their approach recognizes the power of creative expression as a tool for personal growth, healing, and reintegration into society.
