"If we positively modify one’s
thinking, it affects one’s behavior. If one’s behavior is affected
in a positive manner, it improves the quality of life in the
community. For this reason, it is imperative that we strive to affect the
mindset of ex-offenders, and assist them in living a crime free
lifestyle. Only then will our communities be safer."
