PEP provides inmates one-on-one training with executive volunteers to develop values-based business skills offering a “fresh start” to reformed inmates. This program offers these skills so that once they are released back in society they have the tools, skills and support structure to pursue healthy, fulfilling and productive lives. Our recidivism rate is less than 7% and we have 100% employment within 90 days.
