Prison Math Project

The Prison Mathematics Project, also known as the PMP, is a 501(c)(3) organization based in Phoenix, Arizona. The organization is small, with 5 employees. The Prison Mathematics Project aims to provide math mentorship to incarcerated individuals. They connect prisoners who are committed to personal growth with a community of individuals who share their interest in mathematics. This mentorship helps participants rebuild their lives during incarceration and transition back into the community after release. The organization's vision is to create a world where desistance from criminal activity can be achieved through a community-based system of restorative justice. They believe that mentorship and engagement with mathematics can lead to cognitive changes and lifestyle restructuring.
