Our Mission
“Our prisons should reflect the best of who we are, they should reflect our values, and they should, in my strong opinion, be places that are not just for punishment, but for rehabilitation and for creating roads of redemption” Senator Cory Booker, May 22, 2024.
Rehabilitation humanizes prisons in so many undescribable ways. Positive programming, self help groups provide them with an outlet to be themselves, share deeply, and at the same time, learn new skills. Being trapped in their heads or rooms is unhealthy, so rehab programs bridge that gap between negative criminogenic thinking exploring positive transformations. HWOP Foundation hopes to assist inmates in their quest to improve their lives, by providing the required supplies that are necessary tools for success to include rehabilitation, personal growth and edification.
If we can keep creating safe spaces within prisons that encourage, enhance, normalize and operationalize the daily fluency of positive thoughts and actions, when the incarcerated rejoin society, their re-integration is that much more successful.

Our Programs
Stone walls do not a prison make; Nor iron bars a cage…………Richard Lovelace, 1642
HWOP is an inmate centered non-profit (501(c)(3) that is currently operating at RJDCF. The programs under our sponsorship are those that fall into the category of For Inmates, By Inmates.
Prisons offer many types of rehabilitation programs, Church groups, psych groups, music groups and more. Those are managed mostly by external providers, grant recipients, staff or are an established part of the prison curriculum.
However, when programs are led by inmates, it adds tremendous value and credibility, leadership and tutelage from within is powerful and impactful. The residents there are much more aware of the mental, physical, emotional, religious, spiritual and general needs of their peers with whom they share spaces, pods, yards until they are moved, transferred, paroled or released. Therefore, when they identify a need and suggest possible solutions, HWOP Foundation supports it as long as it has the basics of Needs, Ideas, Objectives and Solutions for program selection and deployment.
