Rising Voices

Rising Voices is a series of articles written by incarcerated journalism students at the California Institute for Men (CIM) in Chino, CA, in partnership with Chaffey College’s student paper, The Breeze. These students are working towards their AA-T degrees in Journalism through Chaffey College’s Rising Scholars Program. This series is dedicated to amplifying the voices of incarcerated reporters through accurate, ethical, and impactful journalism. Our mission is to illuminate lived experiences behind the walls and foster understanding across communities.
