Slide 2

Before I came to Turn90 I’d almost lost hope. Now I’m learning things I wish someone taught me when I was younger – like how to think in the right way and brainstorm before making a decision.

Turn90 is the best thing that’s happened to me in a long time.

One person who leaves prison and doesn’t go back is a win.

Hundreds of thousands of people who never return is a game-changer in the effort to reform our criminal justice system.
