Opportunity: Statistics show that “one out of every three” Americans has a criminal record, which amounts to around 100 million people. While those stats are astounding, as a justice-impacted person, who is soon to be imprisoned, “I see opportunity in the numbers.” According to these figures, 29% of the population has been justice-impacted. How is […]

What do you “personally” bring to the table? Before you answer […]
Michael Santos-The Matthew Effect
During my time in prison, lessons from sociology, scripture, and modern thinkers influenced my adjustment. Instead of dwelling solely on the poor decisions that brought me there, I focused on envisioning a better future and finding ways to make a meaningful impact on the world.
