Our Story
The Penal Press Awards began as an initiative to shine a light on the untold stories emerging from correctional facilities. Historically, prison publications have offered a rare glimpse into life behind bars, with journalism that challenges stereotypes and sparks dialogue. Recognizing the significance of these efforts, the awards were created to celebrate excellence in reporting and storytelling from within prison walls.
