October is . At JDI, we believe that everyone has a right to safety and healing, including people behind bars. The vast majority of incarcerated women have experienced domestic violence at some point in their lives and they deserve care and support.

Hispanic people represent a disproportionate amount of incarcerated Americans and face discrimination behind bars. It’s Hispanic Heritage Month, and we want to reaffirm our commitment to this population and to their safety and right to access meaningful services while incarcerated. Featured here are several pieces created by incarcerated Latine artists that were featured in our art exhibition, From the Inside.

It is Disability Pride Month!
Incarcerated people with disabilities face severe discrimination and are often targeted for sexual abuse. It is rare for people with disabilities behind bars to find spaces where they can truly celebrate their identities. But this past December, JDI was thrilled to participate in the California Institute for Women's first-ever Disability Pride event, which created a safe, joy-filled space to honor this community. The event featured a moving presentation of the Disability Pride Flag and an art project and poster contest where participants created posters about strength, resilience, beauty, and equity. It was a really powerful event and we were so proud to be a part of it!
