The United States leads the world in incarceration. To change that statistic, we must bring all hands on deck—including those who guide people through the system from the very beginning. That’s why we’re launching an initiative to collaborate with defense attorneys. By introducing clients to our free educational resources, attorneys can help people begin preparing for success at the start of their justice journey. Together, we can empower more individuals to take ownership of their future and build a record that supports early release, second chances, and long-term accountability.
Many stakeholders will influence your pathway to liberty. To work toward the highest level of liberty, at the soonest possible time, start building a portfolio of work. Your work should advance you as a candidate for home confinement or work-release programs as soon as possible. While serving my sentence, I always believed the work I completed inside could relate to the level of success I'd build after I got out. Invest in yourself, and use these tools to memorialize the journey.
