• The Prison Journal grew out of the Sandy Spring Friends Prison
Committee’s visitation at Patuxent Institution. Prison ministry
has long been important to Quakers, and the Sandy Spring
Friends ministry has been active for about 30 years. All material
in this publication was produced by persons currently incarcerated.
This journal is published twice per year, and the 3rd edition
is planned for late 2007..
• We are seeking contributions by current inmates, especially
contributions which help explain the changes that the writer has
gone through. We reserve the right to edit for clarity and
abridge any works that do not fit our space limitations. We
prefer essays, poems, drawings, short stories, etc. We are only
seeking works by current inmates; however, we are not limiting
our search to inmates in any particular geographic location.
With each submission please include prisoner name, inmate ID,
and address. A free copy will be mailed to each inmate that
sends a submission or who requests a copy. Monetary donations
from others would be appreciated.
• Submissions for publication, requests for copies, and contributions
should be sent to:
