Meaningful conversations with the incarcerated

The Frederick Douglass Project for Justice™ facilitates structured meetings and respectful conversations between members of free society and incarcerated people, so that they can learn from each other, form powerful human connections, and transform both their own lives and society at large. Our multi-state Prison Visitation Program™ enables community members around the country to visit local correctional facilities and engage in open, face-to-face conversations with incarcerated people. We believe that these unique encounters spur understanding and empathy—for both the visitor and the incarcerated individual—that will, in turn, drive meaningful personal and systemic change.
