Itero

A magazine created by Missouri Prison Stories to celebrate the art and writing of currently and formerly incarcerated people in Missouri.

In partnership with the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri, Itero has three primary goals:

To uplift and honor the often-overlooked creative contributions of incarcerated individuals.
To highlight first-hand accounts of the carceral system in Missouri
To build a meaningful partnership between the ACLU of MO, Washington University in St. Louis, and the broader St. Louis community, fostering dialogue and advocacy regarding the criminal justice system.

Itero is currently accepting submissions for our premiere Spring 2026 issue.
