As mentioned, we are showcasing those in the creation, construction, and completion of our programs designed for youth (14-17 years of age), adult alternatives to incarceration (18-24 years of age, low level offense), and adult pre/post release.

Our material and workshops are about real people, real life, and real issues.

Duck is an integral part of our success as his experiences bring reality to each page within our 18-book programs, giving participants a sense of identity.

  • Duck, ex-felon, served 13 years on a 40, released on mandatory supervision



Doing time:
Been told what to do for the past 13 years, what to wear, how to walk, when to go to store, when to take a dump, and when to keep shut. These months out is out of control; not used to making choices, prison took all that away.

All are required to respond to life experience. Facilitators engage in group discussions surrounding the original statement, insight questions, and student responses.

No coloring the choices you make

Insight

What life and everyday choices would you give up by going to prison?
