Studying Mathematics
in Prison
he Prison Mathematics Project (PMP) was first conceptualized
in early 2012 when Christopher Havens, serving a 25 year sentence for murder, began studying mathematics during a year spent in solitary confinement. A combination of profound isolation and the awakening of an all-consuming fascination with number theory ignited in Christopher a passion for mathematics, which in turn caused a steady chain of personal transformations. His first experience of mentorship by members of the math community led him to a deep understanding of the power of connections to change lives.
The PMP is the manifestation of Christopher’s vision to share the benefits of math mentorship with other incarcerated people.
The PMP is a non-profit charitable organization with a 501(c)(3) registration.
Stephen Mayer, a Salt Lake City native, was nurtured in the publishing world by his magazine-running father and developed a fascination for fonts upon receiving a Mac for his family. During his collegiate years, he skipped lectures and gained knowledge about typeface—and life—by working as a designer for his university newspaper.
He also worked independently as a consultant, bridging the gap between typeface creators and users, always championing the needs of both parties. Not only is he the co-founder of the web platforms, Typographica and Fonts In Use, Stephen has also penned a regular column for Print magazine and authored the acclaimed book The Anatomy of Type. In 2017, he became an integral part of the nonprofit library and museum, Letterform Archive, as an Associate Curator and Editorial Director.

“I have been locked up for 18 years and have never heard of anything remotely like this.”
“The Prison Math Project gave me hope in a world with none.”
"Many of us just desire guidance in our studies… someone to point the way.”
