James Trust

I’m James Trust. My past convictions will always be part of my story, but they do not define the limits of my future. End Prisonism exists because I believe the people who have experienced the prison system firsthand can help build a better one. My mission is to educate the public, challenge outdated ideas, and advocate for a correctional system that protects society while creating genuine opportunities for rehabilitation.


Trust Matters is my personal blog where I explore the issues shaping America’s prison system, challenge conventional thinking, and share my perspective on prison reform and rehabilitation.
