Defy Northern California was founded in 2015. Defy NorCal serves two state prisons—Correctional Training Facility in Soledad and Pleasant Valley State Prison in Coalinga—and has a growing post-release program.  To join us at an in-prison or post-release event, visit our events page and click on the links for Northern California!

As part of our COVID-19 efforts, we have launched a letter-writing campaign for the incarcerated Entrepreneurs in Training. If you'd like to write a letter to an EIT, please learn more and fill out this form here!
