1664 (EOCI) Quarterly News Magazine

1664 was established on Feb. 22, 2024. At that time, there were 1,664 federal and state prisons in the United States. Together, these systems, along with jails, juvenile facilities, and immigration detention centers, hold over 1.9 million people.
The mission of 1664 is simple: to provide names and faces where there were once numbers and statistics.
This quarterly publication features stories by incarcerated people and an anthology of creative writing by justice-involved individuals. Prisons are often factionalized societies with institutional, psychological, geographical, and sometimes self-imposed barriers. 1664 aims to chip away at those barriers by sharing
stories of humanity from behind the razor wire.
