Incarceration Nations Network

About Incarceration Nations Network

A podcast by formerly incarcerated leaders from around the world. Incarceration Nations Network is a partner-led organisation that is: globally minded but locally grounded, attuned to problems but driven by solutions, focused on systemic change even as we work to clean up the mess of mass incarceration in the here and now. We are committed to transnational solidarity, intersectionality, working toward a world without prisons and ensuring that those directly impacted by the justice system lead the way to its radical reimagining.
