We’re incredibly proud to see our youth representing Kansas through Youth First Justice Collaborative the No Kids In Prison magazine — using their voices, creativity, and lived experiences to spark important conversations and advocate for change.
This youth-led publication, created through Youth First Justice Collaborative, features original poetry, art, writing, and analysis from young people directly impacted by the justice system. From the editorial process to production and distribution, young leaders were involved every step of the way, building real-world skills while creating something powerful for their communities.
Progeny’s own Marquan Teetz helped lead Kansas distribution efforts, helping create opportunities for connection, organizing, and community impact right here in Wichita. To request a copy, email [email protected] for pickup or delivery options.

No Kids In Prison is a new, youth-led magazine featuring original art, writing and analysis from young people who've experienced prison firsthand. Kansas is one of five states with on-the-ground teams distributing the magazine to create real, face-to-face opportunities to build community and organize with people who believe that children need care, not cages.
The Wichita distribution team is led by Marquan Teetz of Progeny, who contributed poetry to the magazine. He is one of many young people who led the magazine every step of the way-from inception, planning, curatorial process, production and distribution. Started by Youth First Justice Collaborative , the magazine put creative control in the hands of young people themselves, while giving them opportunities to build real-world skills in editorial processes and publication. It's a work of art and an organizing tool, and we hope you'll pick up a copy today.
You can find the magazine by emailing [email protected]. We can do deliveries or scheduled pickups from our downtown office.
