I helped found @the-work-and-us.bsky.social in 2021. After a little hiatus, we are officially relaunching the project and are expanding our work to include an Incarcerated Research Fellowship. Because we believe that people inside are experts of their own experiences.

The Work and Us was started in 2021 by Stevie Wilson and 3 outside researchers and organizers who were interested in exploring incarcerated people’s perspectives on prison labor.
