Rebuilding discipline, faith, and purpose
Becoming Ital in thought and action
🛠️ How It Works in Correctional Programs:

Personal Journals: Affirmations, reflections, and spiritual goals
Community Service: Acts of repair (even inside the walls)
Rasta Eldership Mentorship: Guidance from seasoned Ras elders
Release Planning: Spiritual, financial, and emotional readiness
