Prison Professors

Impact Metrics

Tribes Originated

We aim to build a culture of accountability and leadership within the prison system—one member at a time. Each person who uses our program can become an ambassador of the message, helping others build their own pathways to success. This metric tracks how many individuals are actively forming tribes by mentoring and motivating their peers. While we track points earned in earlier sections, this data shows something deeper: how influence spreads. Over time, these numbers will help us demonstrate to administrators, employers, and policymakers that our programs contribute to cultural change—and can support policies that reward personal growth and incentivize excellence.

Leadership from Within

Building Tribes of Change

Tribes represent the organic spread of our message and values within the prison system. When someone starts a tribe, they become a leader and mentor—helping others discover our resources and commit to personal growth. By tracking tribes originated, we measure the ripple effect of our work, understanding how peer influence and leadership can transform culture from the inside out.
