Journal

Writing by outside contributors on prisons, detention, and justice in Somalia and across Africa.

Pitches are open. OPR is accepting pitches for the Journal now, from Somalia and from the rest of Africa, in English (Somali is also accepted for writing on Somalia): investigations, case reports, testimony, and legal and policy analysis. Read how to pitch and send yours.

If you have something to say about what happens inside Somalia's prisons and detention facilities, pitch it first: if the idea works, we commission it, edit it with you, and publish it under the name you choose. Other ways to contribute include sharing information or a case, volunteering, and becoming a member.
