The award-winning Free Minds Book Club and Writing Workshop, which works with young men in the DC Jail and the federal prison system, invites you to connect with DC inmates through their poetry.

Join fellow Stanford alums and students at Stanford-in-Washington to read moving, insightful poems written by young men in jail about their lives, and offer brief written feedback which is later returned to the poets. Hear about the work of Free Minds from its founders and from "poet ambassadors" - who took part in the life-changing program and are now back in the community.

All participants must be 12 years or older.
