We aim to lower the Recidivism rate by providing educational services to those in the system.
Through government grants and private donations, we can provide the incarcerated and formerly incarcerated population with desperately needed educational services and vocational training to help them re-enter society.
Why and How?
Prison, jail, parole, or probation cannot provide the job training needed to get this demographic the jobs necessary to survive. If we can come to a happy medium, the recidivism rate in this country will plummet, the crime rate will plummet, this can only help.The lower the recidivism rate the safer our neighborhoods, schools, children, friends and families will be.
Radical Honesty. Radical Transparency.
We tell how we see it. Because we have been on the other side we see things from both perspectives. The main question we have dedicated ourselves to answering is not the problem, but the solution on how to keep our community, city, states, and nation safe.

What We Stand For
Historical statistics prove that when a felon finds employment that they are happy with, the recidivism numbers go down into the single digits. Unfortunately, incarcerated individuals do not get the skills necessary to come out of jail or prison to get an good job and survive. They are not equipped to handle the stressors of everyday life. In fact, they get very few usable skills, they hate, that’s pretty much it in a nutshell. The skills that these warriors would learn would lower recidivism, curb violence, and reunite families. Because the rules regarding housing and employment are so set in stone, these men and women need all the tools necessary to win.
Everyone on this planet deserves an education. Everyone on this planet deserves to able to use said education for a job. Private prisons are destroying this dream by not providing education and vocational training.

About Us
About Us
Our goal is to provide educational and practical vocational training to the men and women who are currently in our criminal justice system. We are NOT advocating for better treatment or lesser sentences. We are trying to provide more educational programs to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals. The goal is that they have the necessary skills needed to find gainful employment. With a good job, these individuals will not reoffended hence lowering or ending the recidivism rate in our country.
We Create Opportunities
In order to qualify for certain grants we must maintain that we are solid at what we do. We live and breath to provide felons the opportunity to survive.
The purpose of our portfolio is to show that we have the skills necessary to teach and train. And that we advocate for human rights.
Felons are some of the greatest artist on the planet. Let them live by helping them move forward. We would you want to punish someone who in the eyes of the law, the courts, the highest power declared them free men and women?

What is it like to be felon? Does society contribute to the recidivism numbers?
When one is a felon, life is not so easy. It can be debilitating, frustrating, and annoying, and you are ready to give up at any second to contribute to the recidivism statistics. But, most of the time, we are punished for life and deflated and humiliated by society. So why let us out in the first place if all you’re going to do is hate us for a lifetime? Once our punishment is over and we have paid our dues, why are we felons for life? And you wonder why the recidivism numbers are astronomical? Society needs to stop oppressing felons.

A Social Worker. A Counselor. A Friend. Can Make All The Difference
THESE ARE THE SILENT UNSUNG HEROES WHO MAKE THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCES
Social Workers, Doctors, Counselors, Addiction Therapist, And Everyone In The Mental Health.
Clinical Social Workers
Social workers in a criminal justice setting often assess new arrivals to the prison and develop inmates’ treatment and support plans. Also, they provide individual therapy and psychosocial, educational support groups; provide referrals to medical or mental health services, and track the progress and compliance of inmates.
License Drug and Alcohol Counselor
This person is vital to the success of the inmates in a more micro setting. A compulsive or regular substance use counselor supports people with drug and alcohol problems, eating disorders, and other behavioral issues. They teach individuals how to modify their behavior with the intention of full recovery.
Rules of Being A Felon
The Truth
There are 21 million felons in the US and growing. Felons are the most underrated, unrepresented group in America today. If you want to end violence and end criminal behavior, you must remove drugs and alcohol. Seeing how that isn’t happening anytime soon; give them an education or practical vocational training so that when they get released they have a job and a home to live in, then judge us.
WE ARE LESS THAN HUMAN
Society Views Us
Instead of something happening (this just seems like a no-brainer), maybe we should provide a little more assistance to felons. Change laws regarding what formerly incarcerated people can and can’t do. Put a more efficient classification system plan in place and get an employment certification to enable certain felons to get a job. Instead, their impact on society would be what they could bring to the table, the education they have, and the fact that they will be the best candidate.

THE CHASE NEVER ENDS WHEN THE JOURNEY BEGINS
Punishment does not increase mental stability nor reduce the effects of trauma and exposure to poverty. Prisons and jails do not make people mentally healthy. Incarceration does not address addiction or substance abuse disorders. The criminal justice system needs to start focussing on education and vocational training. A new focus will insure that incarcerated individuals will come out prepared and ready to take on the world.
