Youth UpRising – Poetry and Prison Project
Youth Uprising’s Poetry and Prison Project is a youth-led citizen journalism effort that uses poetry to speak about the effects of mass incarceration on young people in urban America. The project’s multimedia study, Poetry and Prison features videos of program participants reading their original poems and discussing how writing poetry impacts their lives.

Using poetry to express feelings and effects that incarceration has on their lives shows everyone a side of prisoners that most never see.
