What one brother had to say
Islam gave me purpose and peace even behind bars. I finally feel seen, heard, empowered, and part of something greater and lasting.
“This program creates bonds and friendships that will make our transition into society easier. It creates strong ties with new Muslims and the communities they will be returning to.To invest in this program is like investing in the regeneration of the Muslim community."
–Raymond C., CA State Prison-Los Angeles County
"I’ve been locked up for 14 years and I never seen Muslims from the streets come here to make a change before. It gave me a foundation to build upon, when criminal thinking always seems up front in my mind, it’s been replaced with Allah in everything I do." 
 –Eric "Idrees", CA State Prison-Los Angeles County
