Preparing for Success After Prison DVD
We began building our Preparing for Success after Prison by invitation of the Warden at the United States Penitentiary in Atwater, California. Like many high-security prisons, the Atwater penitentiary had an “active” population.
Intending to improve the culture, the Warden invited our team to create a course that would help people serving lengthy sentences understand the importance of deliberate adjustment strategies. Since the course’s author and narrator emerged successfully after 26 years in federal prisons of every security level, we felt confident that people in the penitentiary would be more willing to embrace the message.
After successfully implementing the Preparing for Success after Prison course at USP Atwater, resulting in fewer cell extractions or use-of-force reports, we expanded the program.
- Facilitator guide;
- Preparing for Success after Prison—with 10 modules (softcover workbook);
- 31 DVD videos
- Earning Freedom: Conquering a 45-Year Prison Term (softcover book);
- Prison! My 8,344th Day (softcover workbook);
- Success after Prison (softcover workbook);
- Pre-course self-assessment,
- 10 self-assessment module quizzes,
- Final exam,
- Post-course self-assessment
The 100-hour course includes the following resources:
We offer in-person presentations and train the trainer with ongoing support through Video or audio calls. Every state prison in California uses this course, offering milestone credits for successful completion. The following federal prisons purchased annual licensing agreements for this course:
1) USP Atwater; 2) FCC Florence; 3) FCI Greenville; 4) FCI Milan5) FCC Terre Haute; 6) FMC Rochester; 7) FCI Oxford; 8) FMC Springfield; 9) FCI Pekin; 10) FCI Waseca.

Preparing for Success After Prison DVD
People in prison get inundated with bad messaging. Every day, people suggest that the best way to serve time is to forget about the world outside and focus on building a prison reputation. Such advice has negative influences on the following:
- The institutional culture,
- The people who staff an institution,
- The people who serve sentences in an institution,
- The broader community,
- The taxpayer.
We created the “Daily Discussions” program as a self-directed workshop. It includes our softcover Perseverance workbook and a set of DVDs with 30 video courses spanning more than six hours.
Participants in this self-directed course learn the importance of creating intentional, values-based, goal-oriented adjustment strategies. Rather than waiting until release to prepare for success, participants learn how they can use the time inside to:
- Define success as the best possible outcome,
- Create a plan that will open opportunities upon release,
- Put priorities in place,
- Take incremental action steps,
- Create tools, tactics, and resources,
- Develop personal accountability metrics, and
- Execute the plan as days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months, and months turn into years.
This self-directed course encourages participants to memorialize the many ways they recalibrated. They can show they prepared for a life of meaning, fulfillment, and contribution.
