Funding Successful
This project successfully raised its funding goal on November 24, 2010.
Pledge $5 or more Pledge $5 or more
If you pledge $5 or more to the Voices of Justice project, we'll write a personalized thank you note on a sheet of poster board and photograph it being held up by one of our spectacularly attractive team members on the road. We'll then place that photograph on the 'Thank You' page of the VoJ website.
Pledge $15 or more Pledge $15 or more
If you donate $15 to the project, I'll ask any serious question you want to any person we interview. Do you have something you'd like to discuss with a prisoner? A warden? A corrections officer? A ex-gang member in L.A.? Pledge 15 bucks or more and we'll make sure your question gets an answer.
Pledge $30 or more Pledge $30 or more
Donate $30 or more to the project and also receive one of our awesome "Razor Wire" Voices of Justice t-shirts - guaranteed to fill friends, coworkers and random strangers with the utmost of awe and respect for your savvy fashion sense.
Pledge $50 or more Pledge $50 or more
Give 50 bucks to the project and we'll buy a copy of any book of your choosing (assuming it costs us $15 or less) and give it to any person we interview of your choosing — an inmate, correctional officer, parolee, etc... you decide.
Pledge $100 or more Pledge $100 or more
As we travel, we'll be taking hundreds of photographs for the project. For those who donate more than $100, we'll collect the best of these photos together into a personalized collection along with related explanations, original sketches of our ideas for stories and data visualizations, and a handwritten thank you letter that I'll compose on the road.
Pledge $500 or more Pledge $500 or more
Alongside the many photographs we'll be shooting on the road, we'll also be writing lots of short stories, many of which won't appear on the VoJ website. If you're generous enough to donate $500 or more to the project, we'll bind all of our best stories, photos and data visualizations together into a handmade and personalized book that we (and all of our artistically-inclined friends) will pour our hearts into designing and send to you as a token of our deepest and sincerest gratitude.
Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
I've worked as a freelance writer in a variety of countries for a variety of publications. For the last two years, I was the editor for the online magazine for correctional professionals, CorrectionsOne.com. Since then, I've found the subject of criminal justice in America absolutely fascinating and I've devoted myself to better understanding it ever since.
