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.
