Finding Purpose or Giving Back by Jessie M. (California)
A life sentence can weigh on you as a constant reminder of your past misdeeds, but I’m here to tell you: your crimes are something you did, and it’s not who you are; your time doesn’t define you. We must live with the attitude of freedom and be worthy of the freedom through our behavior today, not who we were 20 years ago.

Over 2.6 million individuals currently confined in jail OR prison in America
And millions more on some form of probation or paroleMass incarceration is an issue that needs to be dealt with. There really isn’t a one size fits all solution to this
Getting Involved
End mass incarceration
As people have many different reasons that lead them to get into these places and situations, what may work for some people will not work for others.
It happens too often
Individuals in prison are forgotten about by society, even in cases, by their own family, looked down upon; thus, leaving them worse off than when they entered the prison system.
When the only support these individuals find is through negative activities, and the position against them is to punish them, rehabilitation is far from the forefront.
A positive and inspirational magazine delivered to prisons
We are taking a proactive approach with the goal of ending mass incarceration.
We are bringing hope into prison through Designed Conviction The Magazine, capturing stories of individuals having success upon their release. As well as people that are making a positive impact while currently still incarcerated, displaying, beautiful works of art from inside and offering the opportunity to bring ideas to life and get exposure for positive works.
