Prisoner Theory Institute is a nonprofit organization that provides support and information to those in the prisoner class. 

PTI does not accept donations, nor do we charge fees for services. Members are those who have been given numbers via the judicial system. Contact us for more information.

Prisoner Theory Institute does not offer services in the conventional sense. We maintain a database that has the contact information of a large part of the population, those who are forced to answer yes to the 2ap.

The second application is the question found everywhere..."have you ever been convicted of a crime?" This is the line, the sentence that separates nearly one half of the adult population from the other. It never ends. That question follows the prisoner for the rest of their lives. 

We cannot give legal advice. NO!

The simple reason. We have children too.

Approximately 80%+ of the slaves in prison will move into neighborhoods like yours. They will be your neighbors, your friends, and then one day it will be you.

Prisoner theory is the perspective that questions the perception that crime and the criminal occupy the same space. That tropes like prison rape are examples of poetic justice (which is not an element of the American judicial system). And that maxims such as, "do the crime, do the time," are not the same judicial principles one would want for themselves. These pervasive stereotypes achieve nothing but to push the person in prison into the prison itself. Further, the theory posits that these images of the prisoner are designed to manufacture a massive subservient population. Prisoner theory revisits politics, philosophy, and the criticism of all forms of art and media in an attempt to re-humanize those who have been given numbers and a bed within the warehouse.

The theory was presented, viewed, and discussed on Facebook. During the presentation of material, which was the founder's dissertation, thousands joined, and millions viewed the months long ongoing dialog. Prisoner theory was created as an introduction to a work of  creative poetry by the founder. This was for a PhD in English-Creative Writing. He was denied his candidacy, and so PTI was born.
