The Minnesota Prison Writing Workshop (MPWW) is a non-profit organization based in Saint Paul, MN, dedicated to fostering a literary community and promoting art within correctional facilities across Minnesota. Through high-quality creative writing classes and related programming, MPWW empowers incarcerated individuals, challenges stereotypes, and advocates for rehabilitation and restorative justice through art.
Founded in 2011, MPWW has grown to become the largest and most enduring prison-based literary organization in the country. With over 25 instructors who have taught more than 250 creative writing classes to over 3,000 men and women in every adult state prison in Minnesota, MPWW aims to bridge the gap between literary communities inside and outside of prison by creating platforms for their students' work.
