JDEF Enterprises, LLC

The Hard Times is the only newspaper on the market designed to touch on every aspect of the lives of incarcerated individuals in the United States. We offer the tools necessary for our readers to fight recidivism and become empowered - valuable information, articles, resources, contact information, and more. Most of our readers do not have internet access and are therefore forced to subscribe to publications that are often full of articles that simply do not pertain to them. We understand that many of our fellow Americans are faced with unique challenges such as finding a job as a felon, having limited exercise equipment while incarcerated, legal help, and relying on prison pen pals for socializing beyond the prison walls. We understand our customers, and their satisfaction is our top priority.
