- The Prison Entrepreneurship Program, which helps ex-offenders create their own businesses, shows how community and non-profit organizations are sometimes best positioned to offer these solutions.
Nearly seven million people are in prison or on parole in the United States. Two-thirds of inmates released from prison remain unemployed after a year. And two-thirds will be re-arrested within three years of release. With numbers like that, it’s clear that the collateral consequences of incarceration, like difficulty finding employment, deserve attention, action, and solutions.

I spent the last eight years of my teaching career teaching GED in the prison at Kyle, TX. It is a pre-release center for convicted drug offenders. It was the most rewarding experience I ever had. To be a part of helping those men believe in themselves so that they could pass the GED tests was truly a blessing. I learned so much from those guys and I literally saw men change before my eyes. God bless this PEP program!!!
This is a wonderful cause. Thank you CKI and PEP for your hard work on this project. #AdvancingJustice
Great job with all your videos!! I love your content and what you've got going here
Nice! I'm sharing this video link in my description as a followup for a similar video I made in case people want to learn more from other's testimonies.
Good stuff. As human beings we need to give second chances. We ain't God we can't judge. I'm happy there's people giving these guys a second chance. God bless.
This cause was also pioneered by a New York priest and a man know "Little Joe" , a former boy from George Junior Republic, who was given new chances to grow in "foster" homes in the early 1940s.
This is brilliant! Do we know how many PEP-inspired businesses succeed? I understand that the national rate is depressingly low.
Currently, I believe it is hovering at around 20%. The real key statistic is the less than 7% rate of PEP grads going back to prison.
