GIVE TO SUPPORT THE WOMEN SEEKING SENTENCE REDUCTION IN SALVADOR, BAHIA

With your generous donations, we will be able to continue to offer a sentence remission program through reading. Our weekly reading and creative writing workshops program give the detainees the opportunity to shorten their sentence by 4 days per book read.

We are an all volunteer organization doing grassroots abolitionist work through the arts and culture and we need your support to continue doing our work. The women in the correctional facility face a constant a shortage of feminine products, personal hygiene goods, and school supplies for our workshops.

This year, we are organizing the first literary contest inside the detention center and we are launching the Maria Firmina dos Reis Literary Abolitionist Award 🥇

Our goal is to publish the FIRST book of poetry written by the incarcerated women in our project!

The money raised during this campaign will go directly to making this new project happen and it will pay for production, printing, and promoting costs.

OUR HISTORY

Created in 2010, Corpos Indóceis e Mentes Livres (Insubmissive Bodies, Free Minds), has been working towards sentence reduction for incarcerated women at the Women's Correctional Facility in Salvador/BA. By means of weekly reading and creative writing workshops, the women, an absolute majority of whom are black, are given the opportunity to shorten their sentence by four days per book read. The project focuses on healing processes through practices of reconciliation with self, creative expression of memories, and re-humanization of life experiences against Brazil’s racist and sexist necropolitical criminal justice system.

Let’s do this!
