The Global Freedom Fellowship is the world’s first Fellowship program for formerly incarcerated leaders from around the world, housed at INN’s hub in South Africa.

In 2024, INN launched the Global Freedom Scholars Network, the world’s first transnational network of justice-involved university students.

The Writing on The Wall is a shape-shifting, pop-up art installation made from writing by people in prison around the world, a collaboration with renowned visual artist Hank Willis Thomas.

Having built The Writing on the Wall into an international, headline-grabbing brand, INN launches it—in a grand-scale effort to both directly empower formerly incarcerated people around the world and impact global culture and policy with regard to incarceration and discriminatory reintegration practices.

INN collaborates with institutions around the world to foster creative prison-university partnerships that leverage the power of education and nurture leaders with lived experience. Some of these programs fall under the umbrella of the Prison-to-College Pipeline (P2CP), which Dr. Baz founded at New York’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice in 2010. INN also runs the Global Freedom Scholars Network, the world’s first transnational network of justice-involved students.

INN is deeply committed to creative justice work in the Caribbean, particularly in Trinidad & Tobago.

Creative, artistic, media-friendly global events allow INN to reach the full range of justice stakeholders, from academics and policymakers to directly impacted communities, influencers and artists.

Changing the public narrative about prisons, the people in them and the people coming home from them is vital to innovative justice work. To that end, INN produces award-winning media showcasing the crisis of global incarceration, including Incarceration Nations: A Global Docuseries.

Our book imprint is a collaboration between INN and Lived Places Publishing (LPP) aimed at broadening the scope of real people’s storytelling in Carceral Studies.

INN creates tools, fosters best-practice connections and coordinates learning trips for NGOs and government entities worldwide.
