Better outcomes for people & Society
Inspiring Change from the Inside
Michael Santos visits prisons nationwide, delivering empowering talks designed for both staff and people serving sentences. By sharing the lessons he learned during 26 years of incarceration,
Michael helps participants recognize their potential to create meaningful change. His presentations emphasize accountability, self-directed growth, and practical strategies to improve outcomes, strengthening not only individual lives but also families and communities.
Improving culture of confinement
Resources for teachers and administrators
Teachers and advisors can change the culture of an institution. Our team provides resources they can use to students use their time inside to prepare for success outside. The students respond to self-directed learning resources, especially when they can see a connection between their personal development programs and their prospects for success upon release. Connect with us to get self-directed workbooks, courses, and video files that will change the culture of confinement, lower recidivism rates, and prepare people for success.
Preparing People for Success upon Release
Each day, we empower thousands of individuals in jails and prisons across America. We create and distribute essential educational resources people can use to prepare for success upon release. Collaborations with the Bureau of Prisons, the California Department of Corrections, and The Edovo Foundation allow us to be the change we want to see. Join us in creating lasting change.
