WRITING CONTEST

Build Communities Not Prisons was created in response to the tragic death of Michael Broadway at Stateville Correctional Center on June 19, 2024 due to the egregious, inhumane prison conditions, a reflection of the long-standing life-threatening circumstances of tens of thousands of Illinois residents caged behind bars.​

 

We are committed to expanding pathways for release for our loved ones still incarcerated.
