Captive Voices
Captive Voices showcases essays, poems, and art from incarcerated individuals. Founded by writer Tariq MaQbool, Captive Voices encourages incarcerated writers to tell their truths no matter how much the odds are staked against them. We humbly invite you to explore the writings and works showcased here, and to learn more about us and our mission, click the button below.
Founded by Tariq Maqbool, our mission is to bring about structural changes to the oppressive criminal justice / prison systems of America. Towards that endeavor, I truly believe that it will require overwhelming public support. For that much, we must change the hearts & minds, and that can only be achieved by speaking the truth, & defining our own narratives & telling our stories. Thus, Captive Voices is a platform for the incarcerated, their families, well wishers and all who are striving to bring about a positive change for human rights in this country & beyond. We are here to help, assist, aid, and train you towards that goal. Join & support us, and be a catalyst for change!
