End the Odds Coalition is a collaboration of community activists and ex-prisoners working to change the culture of the Massachusetts prison system. Our mission is to “promote a humane culture in Massachusetts prisons and jails whereby all involved—prisoners and staff—can realize their full human potential and responsibility so that persons confined to prison and those returning to the community will be provided the necessary tools for leading productive, meaningful lives.”
This blog consists of writings and suggestions for change in the prison system from the prisoners themselves, although from time to time, there may be other writings posted from people who have served time or from those who work on behalf of them.
