The New York Times recently featured an article about my friend Nate Johnson, the founder of Freewriters, a nonprofit that offers mindful writing classes to prison inmates in Minnesota. Here's the link to the story: nytimes.com/2023/09/06/us/….

FreeWriters, an organization that runs prompt-based, five-minute writing exercises out of Hennepin, Ramsey and Anoka county jails, is working to creatively engage inmates in a way that makes them feel heard naco.org/news/writing-p… #CountyNews
