Our friends over at the JJIE (Juvenile Justice Information Exchange) have picked up and posted another thoughtful piece of writing that has come out of our weekly workshops inside juvenile hall and beyond. This latest piece, by Chapo From The Inside: Someone Always Will Have It Worse Than Me, is one of their feature stories today on their website. You can go directly to Chapo’s story http://jjie.org/from-the-inside-someone-always-will-have-it-worse-than-me/130688/ You can also see the several other pieces JJIE has featured from The Beat Within http://jjie.org/category/ideas-and-opinions/the-beat-within/ Thank you for your continued support.  We wish you a great week!

Hello all, We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Kid CAT – the juvenile lifers housed at SQSP.  We had our initial workshop back in October and just recently our workshop was featured in the San Quentin News. Take a look at the link or the attachments. We are thrilled to include these important voices in The Beat Within. We will resume workshops in early 2015. Download

Update: We Did It! Our Booster campaign has closed.Thank you all! You’re in luck! In honor of the holiday season, The Beat Within has launched its SECOND t-shirt fundraiser! Our first fundraiser was an incredible success thanks to the loyalty of our supporters. Due to a high demand for t-shirts after the fundraiser’s closing date, The Beat has decided to re-launch! Donations will go directly towards the printing and distributing of our publication (which comes out twice a month). By donating, you will help insure that each young person who participates in our weekly writing workshop receives our 60 page
