Your Voice Matters — Even If You're Not a Writer

Our mission is simple: get real stories from the inside out to legislators and media. We understand that not everyone is a writer, so what we did was create an interview system that talks to you, asking questions about your experience, then takes your answers and weaves them into a story for you. You can edit it if you wish, save it for just yourself, and if you're comfortable with the final story, you can publish it to GPS. We'll publish it on our website, and more importantly, we'll put it on postcards and send them directly to legislators and media. We've already started doing so.

Instead of staring at a blank page, you have a conversation. The system asks you thoughtful questions about your experience, listens to your answers, and weaves them into a polished story — in your voice, with your words at the center.

And if you're worried about safety — your identity is protected from the start. You write under a pseudonym that you choose. We never ask for your real name, and we never collect any personal information that could identify you. Not us, not legislators, not anyone. Your story gets heard. You stay invisible.

From there, it's entirely up to you. Edit the story until it feels right. Keep it private if you prefer. But if you're comfortable sharing it, publish it to GPS — and that's when things get powerful. Your story goes live on our website, and more importantly, it gets printed on postcards and mailed directly to Georgia legislators and news media. Not an email they can ignore. A physical card that sits on their desk.

The Problem

Georgia incarcerates more than 50,000 people in its state prison system. The U.S. Department of Justice has documented unconstitutional conditions including inadequate medical care, widespread violence, and systemic neglect. Despite these findings, meaningful reform has been slow.

State legislators hold the power to drive change — but most have never heard directly from the people affected. The voices of incarcerated individuals are filtered, summarized, or silenced entirely. First-person stories cut through political noise in a way that statistics and policy briefs cannot.

Physical mail demands attention. Unlike emails that get filtered or calls that go to voicemail, a postcard with a real person's story sits on a legislator's desk. It can't be spam-filtered. It can't be algorithmically buried. It arrives, and it stays.

How It Works

Tell My Story is an AI-guided platform that helps incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals share their experiences in their own words. Once a story is published, our automated print campaign generates personalized postcards and mails them directly to Georgia state legislators.

My counselor asked me one day, 'What keeps you going?' I told her it was knowing I had the opportunity to be released that kept me going.”

This Is a Real Story from Inside Georgia’s Prisons

CAGED served over four decades on a life sentence in Georgia, repeatedly denied parole for 'the nature and circumstances' of an offense already sentenced by the court. Despite taking classes, staying out of trouble, and even having the warden vouch for his good behavior, the Parole Board denied him again and again—once for eight years straight—essentially resentencing him indefinitely.

Georgia incarcerates more people per capita than nearly every democracy on earth. Overcrowding, inadequate medical care, and violence are well-documented by the U.S. Department of Justice. These are not statistics — they are people. This is one of their stories.

What Goes on the Cards

Every postcard includes a rotating message alongside each story's excerpt. These messages provide context about Georgia's incarceration crisis and our mission.

News Media Strategy

The same system that delivers postcards to legislators can target journalists and media outlets. Physical postcards can't be spam-filtered, ignored in an inbox, or buried by an algorithm.

Each card includes a QR code that drives measurable web traffic to the full story on gps.press. Scan analytics show us which stories resonate, which legislators engage, and where to focus follow-up outreach.

In effect, every postcard doubles as a press release with a human story attached. When a journalist scans the QR code, they find a fully published article with SEO metadata, a featured image, and a compelling first-person narrative ready to cite.
