There is nothing like the feeling of real mail.

Something physical. Something that traveled. Something someone made with their hands and sent to you on purpose.

Every month, Letters from San Quentin puts exactly that in your mailbox, a letter, a poem, a recipe, a Seeds of Change card embedded with wildflower seeds, and a postmark from San Quentin Village CA 94964. Real paper. Real people. Real stamps.

I am Diane Kahn, founder of Humans of San Quentin. Since 2017 I have interviewed over 4,500 incarcerated people in prisons across the US and around the world. Their stories stopped my breath. Letters from San Quentin is how I share that with you.

$25 monthly. Ships anywhere in the world. First letter ships in August.
