P.R.A.Y. Highlights
Authors in San Quentin

Steven Lawrence Wright and Larry Ali Deminter are currently incarcerated at San Quentin, but their mind, creativity, and purpose are reaching beyond prison walls. Their books are proof that talent, vision, and transformation can still grow in places many people overlook.Check out Freedom After Being Freed: A Financial Blueprint for Those Starting Over. Freedom is more than walking out of prison; it is learning how to live, rebuild, and start over.Check out The Busine$$ Bunch: Book 1 — The Raggedy Treehouse, co-written by Steven Lawrence Wright and Delilah McGee.This book is more than a children’s story. It is about leadership, teamwork, ideas, financial literacy, confidence, and teaching kids that they can dream big no matter where they start. The message is powerful: a kid can be anything, even a CEO.Check out Heal My Broken Wings: A Transformative Journey from Prison to Parole by Larry Ali Deminter is a powerful reminder that brokenness does not have to be the end of the story. The title alone carries a message: wings may be broken, but they can still heal.

P.R.A.Y. Highlights
P.R.A.Y. Mentors in Soledad

The powerful drawing of the tree, created by one of the P.R.A.Y. Inside Out Mentors, shows that anger doesn’t grow on its own. Beneath it lie deep roots of fear and pain, while its branches can spread into guilt, shame, isolation, resentment, mistrust, addiction, denial, jealousy, manipulation, bitterness, envy, and rebellion. Your past may explain the roots, but it doesn’t have to determine what you continue to grow into.The powerful iceberg illustration, created by one of the P.R.A.Y. Inside Out Mentors, uses the iceberg metaphor to convey an important truth: actions are what people usually notice first, but beneath the surface lie much more — thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and beliefs. If we want better actions, we must also address the thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and beliefs beneath them.

    R.O.M.

    Reprogramming Our MindsThe P.R.A.Y. Foundation recognizes that people in underserved communities are in desperate need of hope, direction, healing, accountability, and real tools for change. Many individuals are carrying pain they have never talked about, trauma they have never healed from, choices they have never fully faced, and dreams they have pushed to the side because life has been hard.In many underserved communities, people lack potential, access, support, guidance, opportunities, and positive spaces where they can be heard, challenged, encouraged, and rebuilt from the inside out. Too many people have been labeled by their mistakes, environment, past situations, poverty, anger, or circumstances. The P.R.A.Y. Foundation believes a person’s past need not be the final word for their future. For this reason, nonprofit organizations and community leaders in Jackson, Mississippi, developed a workbook/program titled R.O.M. – Reprogramming Our Minds.Communities in Jackson are facing real challenges, including poverty, violence, trauma, broken families, crime, grief, and hopelessness. This workbook was created to help individuals in these communities become better fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, friends, neighbors, leaders, and overall better people. It is designed to help participants think more deeply, speak more clearly, make stronger choices, and begin the process of becoming the person they know they can be.

    Inside Out Mentor Program

    Becoming a P.R.A.Y. MentorOne of the most powerful ways to stay free from gang life is to reach back and help others find their way out. Your story, mistakes, and your growth can become the blueprint for someone else’s freedom.Through the P.R.A.Y. Foundation’s Inside Out Mentor Program, you have the opportunity to guide and inspire youth who are still trapped in gang culture. By becoming a P.R.A.Y. Mentor, you can send letters, share your wisdom, and speak life into young men and women who desperately need direction.When you mentor, you remind yourself daily of the reasons you left the streets behind. Helping others stay free strengthens your own commitment to change.If you want to take this step, you can write to the P.R.A.Y. Foundation and ask about becoming part of the Inside Out Program. Together, we can create a chain reaction of freedom, men and women helping the next generation break away from gangs and walk into their purpose.Remember: The voice of someone who has lived it carries more weight than a hundred lectures. Your voice could be the one that saves a life.

    P.R.A.Y. Inside Out Mentor Voices: Why Mentorship Matters

    These testimonies come from incarcerated men and women who now use their lived experiences to guide others. Through the P.R.A.Y. Inside Out Mentor Program, they reflect on the choices, pain, consequences, and lessons that shaped their lives. The testimonies show why the P.R.A.Y. Foundation believes mentorship can change lives before it is too late. In their own words, these participants shared how childhood loss, rejection, and the need for love and acceptance led them down a destructive path.One mentor shared how gang life led to regret, incarceration, and a desire to warn others before they make the same mistakes. Another mentor wrote about entering prison young, living without purpose, and later choosing growth, accountability, and change. The last story is a powerful reminder that many people do not start out bad; they start out hurting. Without guidance, support, and someone to show they care, pain can turn into poor choices, addiction, crime, and incarceration.Through the P.R.A.Y. Inside Out Mentor Program, lived experiences like these are used to reach young people, families, and others who may be searching for acceptance in the wrong places. Their words show the power of mentorship from the inside out. These men and women are not glorifying their past. They are using their truth to encourage youth, support transformation, and help others understand that every choice has consequencesThe P.R.A.Y. Inside Out Mentor Program is growing! We currently have incarcerated individuals serving as mentors from eleven states — California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia.The P.R.A.Y. Foundation believes lived experience can become a tool for healing, prevention, and purpose. One caring person can help change the direction of a life.

    Information on the website may be updated, corrected, removed, or changed without prior notice.
    2. Website Use
    You agree to use this website only for lawful purposes. You may not use the website to:
    • Submit false, misleading, threatening, abusive, discriminatory, or unlawful content
    • Harass, exploit, intimidate, or endanger another person
    • Identify or disclose private information about a child, victim, program participant, incarcerated individual, mentor, donor, volunteer, or staff member without authorization

    3. Youth and Parent or Guardian Participation
    The website is primarily intended for adults, including parents, guardians, donors, volunteers, community partners, correctional representatives, and organizational representatives.
    Children under 13 should not independently submit personal information, applications, letters, photographs, artwork, or other materials through the website.
    A parent, legal guardian, school, facility, or authorized youth-serving organization should submit information on behalf of a child when required.
    Submitting an intake form does not guarantee that a child or family will be accepted into a program, receive financial assistance, obtain counseling, or receive any particular service.
    Program participation may depend on eligibility, available resources, safety considerations, location, partner participation, and the Foundation’s capacity.
    4. Programs and Services
    Descriptions of P.R.A.Y. Foundation programs are provided for informational purposes. We may change program requirements, schedules, availability, locations, formats, or eligibility standards.
    Submitting an application, intake form, partnership request, or program inquiry does not create a contract or guarantee:
    • Acceptance into a program
    • Mentorship placement
    • Financial assistance
    • Counseling or clinical services
    • Legal assistance
    • Employment
    • Housing
    • Transportation
    • Publication

    • A particular outcome
    P.R.A.Y. Foundation may approve, deny, pause, or end participation when reasonably necessary to protect participants, staff, volunteers, mentors, partner organizations, or the integrity of a program.
    5. Mentor Correspondence
    The P.R.A.Y. Inside Out Mentor Program may involve written correspondence between incarcerated mentors and participating youth, families, schools, facilities, or organizations.
    Mentor correspondence may be reviewed, screened, copied, withheld, returned, or rejected for safety, privacy, program, or correctional-facility reasons.
    Participants must not use the program to:
    • Exchange unauthorized personal contact information
    • Circumvent correctional-facility communication rules
    • Arrange unapproved visits, telephone calls, financial transactions, or personal relationships
    • Request or send prohibited items
    • Communicate threats, sexual content, gang instructions, illegal activity, or other inappropriate material
    • Exploit, manipulate, intimidate, or pressure another participant
    Correspondence may also be inspected or restricted by the applicable correctional institution. P.R.A.Y. Foundation does not control correctional-facility mail policies or decisions.
    Participation in the mentor program does not create a professional counseling, legal, medical, or therapeutic relationship.
    6. Submissions
    Visitors may be permitted to submit letters, poems, articles, artwork, photographs, testimonials, interviews, stories, program feedback, or other materials.
    You may submit only materials that:

    P.R.A.Y. Foundation may decline, edit, shorten, format, remove identifying details from, or refuse to publish submitted materials when appropriate. We will not intentionally change the central meaning of a personal story or testimonial without appropriate permission.
    Permission to publish or otherwise use a submission will be governed by the applicable submission form, consent form, release, written agreement, or other permission provided by the submitter.
    When the submission concerns a minor, parent or guardian permission may be required.
