The Humanization Blog
Ultimately, both a primary goal and strategy of The Humanization Project is to highlight for the world the individual, complex, diverse human beings impacted by imprisonment, both past and ongoing. By sharing their strengths and successes, hopes and visions, skills and hobbies, even mistakes and fears, they can be relatable to anyone. Stereotypes will be replaced with human compassion.
Here we present a deep dive into some of the people you’ll be glad to know better, people who are important to their communities and families, people who are far more than their worst day. In various and sundry formats to reach diverse audiences we offer summaries, full written interviews, video interviews with retuning citizens, and more.
