A space to honor and remember those who died while living or working behind bars.
Mourning Our Losses is a crowd-sourced memorial to honor the lives of people who die in prisons, jails, and immigration detention facilities in the United States. We remember the lives of people who died while exposed to abominable public health conditions, as residents and as employees.
Mourning Our Losses shares the faces and stories behind the statistics of death and illness from behind bars. We believe that a loss of any human life warrants mourning and reject the notion of deservedness.
We are united in our effort to honor our fallen siblings by telling their stories. We offer a platform for grief, healing, community, and reflection for all those touched by these preventable tragedies.
