Arthur’s trial in 1994 was a turning point in his life. Upon hearing his victim testify about the suffering he experienced, Arthur made a commitment to nonviolence, one that he has maintained to this day. In over three decades of incarceration, Arthur has not engaged in a single act of violence, despite being held in some of California’s most violent prisons, contracting Valley Fever, and living through the deadly COVID-19 pandemic at San Quentin. Instead, Arthur has advocated for healing among fellow incarcerated people and consistently worked to change violent prison culture.

Arthur Jackson has been incarcerated for over 32 years for a crime he committed when he was 21 years old. At the time of his arrest, Arthur had a fifth grade education, no employment skills, and was suffering the effects of compounded trauma. Today, at 53 years old, Arthur is a changed man. He takes full responsibility for his actions and has committed himself to making amends by improving the lives of those around him.

Please take a moment to sign and share this petition to help bring Arthur home!!

After 8 weeks of learning how to communicate, listen, and grow,
families come together for one powerful moment A Family Tea.

A space where sons, mothers, and families reconnect, reflect, and begin healing together.

Family Time: A Family Communication Workshop was created and authored by Tam Steve Nguyen, whose work continues to impact lives inside and beyond prison walls.

This effort is supported by Friends of The People In Blue, a small organization relying on community support to continue this work.
