I would like to start off by saying how much I appreciate this opportunity that has been given to me. This program has helped me grow as person and has given me the skills I need for a smooth transition. I never would have imagined finding something I love to do (work wise) while being in prison, but I have, thanks to ACI.
The ACI program has helped me in a multitude of ways. It has facilitated facets of survival that are crucial for success (for example: patience, communication, striving for excellence). It has challenged me to make myself better. It has re-introduced me to the person I once was. It has re-energized a tired soul to a youthful spirit. It has achieved this by simply employing me and expecting me to perform at a level society deems above par.
