About this organization
Mission
The mission of InsideOUT Writers is to reduce the juvenile recidivism rate by providing a range of services that evolves to meet the needs of currently and formerly incarcerated youth and young adults.

About
Writing program - The writing program was designed to provide youth incarcerated at Los Angeles juvenile detention facilities with activities that discourage violence and support positive social values. Youth are encouraged to express themselves through writing and other pro-social activities rather than through violence. The writing program offers weekly and bi-weekly creative writing classes led by volunteer teachers; annual writers' retreats for all IOW students at each facility to come together as writers to celebrate their accomplishments; and quarterly anthology, which is a compilation of writings from both the writing and alumni programs.
