Who We Are

At Walls to Words, we share the stories of people who have experienced incarceration or are currently incarcerated. We collect and present real accounts without embellishing. Our work is about giving a voice to those often overlooked by society.

We record genuine experiences and build trust through straightforward storytelling that informs readers and helps them understand what really happens behind bars. Our team works hard to ensure that every narrative is told clearly and honestly so that the public can see the real impact of incarceration.

Our Vision

We want to open up the conversation about the legal and justice systems by revealing the true impact of incarceration on individuals and communities. Our goal is to spark discussions that lead to reform and practical solutions. We believe that honest storytelling can drive change, not only in attitudes but also in support systems.

In time, we plan to help establish clinics and foundations that provide released inmates with the tools they need to succeed. By offering rehabilitation and real opportunities for reintegration, we hope to support a fairer system and a safer community for everyone.

Our Mission

Walls to Words aims to document every story of someone who has been or is incarcerated in America. Our focus is on clear, factual storytelling that respects the truth of each person’s journey. We invite readers to learn, question, and engage in conversations about our justice system.

By gathering and sharing accurate narratives, we work to uncover the realities behind incarceration. We want to create a space where these stories drive a call for better support, clearer reforms, and a system that truly helps people rebuild their lives. Every account we share is a step toward understanding and meaningful change.
