Telling Stories Behind Bars: A Practical Guide for Journalists
Every year, thousands of stories are told about people in prisons.
Far fewer are told with them.
This guide is designed to help young journalists explore stories from inside prisons—ethically, creatively, and truthfully—without sensationalism or harm.
Based on original research from Lithuania, Croatia, Ukraine, and Italy, and enriched by practical insights from professionals in journalism, prisons, and restorative justice, this resource offers real-world guidance.
Our goal?
To equip you with the tools and inspiration to tell stories that empower—not exploit.
