I didn’t think I could do it…I wanted to, but I didn’t have the belief in myself. And this program actually gave me the belief in myself, gave me a host of knowledge I never had and now I feel so excited about going out here and starting my own business. I’m very excited.

When we actually heard about the Inmates to Entrepreneurs program we understood that this was another option that we could actually give our inmates... You have the technical skills, you have the things that you need inside of you to make this happen. So, let’s go ahead and instill those tools in you so you can be successful in starting your own business if that is something you would like to do.

What I like about I2E is the genuineness. It’s free of charge, so the only thing that we give is our time and the only thing that we expect is the time back from that person to find a way to succeed in their entrepreneurship.
