This website was inspired by my brother, Brian, who has been incarcerated for over 3 decades. Prisoner Exchange (PE) is NOT a business, it is simply a website that is owned and operated by his family and friends.
The purpose of PE is to give prisoners a forum so their voices can be added to the narrative being recorded about their lives, culture and experiences in this era of mass incarceration.
PE is also a forum where community groups and activists can directly engage with prisoners to build on the process of returning prisoners back to useful citizenship. Additionally, any conversation on the subject of Prison Reform, whether it be local or national, would greatly benefit from the knowledge and experiences of prisoners.
Our ultimate goal is to build a bridge that creates a strong, positive connection between the inside community and the outside community.
