Understanding The Need To Fix a Problem

As an incarcerated individual, being mentally, spiritually and emotionally ready to change is more important than making that physical change to freedom outside those security fences that keep us locked in. If our minds are not internally prepared to move then our bodies tend to only have a presence in free society and will gravitate right back to that comfort zone of the past places and people.

Too many times, we find ourselves going back to neighborhoods where housing, employment, transportation and healthy-living lifestyles are not at our finger tips. The lack of these necessities can serve to quickly put us in emotional jeopardy and at risk of repeating the cycle of crime.
