Prison Math Project
@prisonmathproject.bsky.social
We support the study of math and computer science in prisons by building coding apps, creating math circles, and pairing incarcerated people with math mentors.

"Every time I opened a textbook or read a research paper, every day I stayed clean, every time I showed compassion to the people around me, I was fighting a system that wanted me to fail."

How do you learn to code from a prison cell with no computer?
For one student, it started with sending JavaScript snippets via email. That simple hack led to PMP's CodePraxis.
Now, the mission is to bring this project to prisons across the country.
