In a challenge to lawmakers, actor Geoffery Owens asks, "How can you fix our criminal justice system if you have never been inside a prison?"
Challenge your lawmakers to #VisitAPrison. Let's spread awareness about prison issues.
Every day, we receive letters from across the country from people like Seth. Separated from their families, they yearn for connection with those on the outside. We ensure everyone that writes to PVS receives a response, even if we cannot immediately assign them a Visitor.
"My family is scattered across the US, and I get no visits from them. I really would cherish some outside conversation. Would you please sign me up for your program? I can't begin to express my gratitude for all you do for us behind these walls." -- Seth, incarcerated in Arizona
