When I leave here, if I am afforded that opportunity, I can take this out into the community.

Paying It Forward...

In addition to the effect of Prison of Peace programs, processes and events in prison facilities, thousands of inmate family members have been positively affected by the skills learned by their incarcerated loved ones.  Due to the extended reach of this program by our inmate peacemakers to other inmates around them, countless other families have been impacted. 

Prison of Peace has now been brought outside the barbed wire fences.  Over 700 Prison of Peace alumni have been released on parole and more are being released every month.   They have jobs, they're in school, they're building families,  they're of service in their communities and to Prison of Peace.  With the hard fought Peace they've each won, they've earned their freedom and are making a difference!

As of December 2021, Prison of Peace has employed 19 of its formerly incarcerated trainers as Staff Trainers on a full or part-time basis. With often insurmountable barriers to employment, this opportunity provides a bridge from prison to successful employment.
