We are honored to see The Douglass Project’s work in Louisiana highlighted by The Advocate.
The story captures what makes these visits so powerful: bringing people from outside prison walls together with people on the inside for real conversations, meaningful connections, and an opportunity to see one another simply as human beings.
Our work is built on the belief that proximity can change perspectives. When people are willing to walk through the doors, sit together, listen to one another, share stories, and find common ground, something powerful happens. Walls begin to come down—even when prison walls remain.
We are incredibly grateful to our partners in Louisiana, especially Louisiana Parole Project , and to every inside and outside participant who continues to make these visits possible.
As the headline says, these experiences can truly be life-changing.
We invite you to read the full story from The Advocate and learn more about how The Douglass Project is bringing hope, humanity, and connection inside prisons across the country.
