You all are doing freaking awesome! Knowledge is power. From a prisoner's standpoint, this place keeps people ignorant. I can't even get any of the things they offer here. The more information and education you all offer, the more I try to share it. I look forward to your upcoming materials - just keep them coming.

- Jay, incarcerated in Texas

I am continuously seeking self improvement through education, reflection and applying knowledge. I don't just want to learn, I want to build my character. I was surprised how many practical things I learned from this guide. There were very clear guidelines. It helped me envision the possibilities in the future.
