Imprisonment to Impowerment

I'm creating this group to get input from the part of society that is (until lately) the easiest to overlook as well as the decision makers that influence who will be "the haves" and who will "have not". I'm also looking to find ways to network with individuals, groups, organizations and businesses willing to hear us EX-offenders OUT and let us IN so that we can make positive contributions to our families, friends, nieghborhoods and our individual cities, states and government.
