Prison Journalism Project manages the first Society of Professional Journalists virtual chapter for incarcerated journalists.
Our members consist of active PJP writers in the advanced levels of our Learning+ program, active alumni contributors and winners of the Stillwater Prize for Journalism. They are actively reporting and publishing from inside prison walls.
Membership is renewed annually.
SPJ is the nation’s most broad-based journalism organization, dedicated to the free and ethical practice of journalism. While incarcerated members cannot access SPJ’s online programs, their membership formally recognizes them as journalists within the profession.
(Learn more about the Stillwater Awards, PJP’s partnership with SPJ Florida to honor journalistic excellence in the incarcerated community, here.)
