Intention of The Folsom Prison Daybook

We believe in the healing provided by inspiration.

The words in these poems and writings are representative of the ripples of inspiration on waters of hope.

We pray that hearts are touched, minds are provoked, and souls will sing.

These words are shared from meaningful places touched by the authors.

May you find solace in the knowledge that feelings were plumbed to find the ache of these expressions.
