Who We Are
What We Do
We create a safer, intentional residential community within the prison where participants live, learn, and grow together. This community serves as a living lab—an environment where individuals can practice the interpersonal and emotional skills taught in Horizon’s daily classes. Through peer support, accountability, and shared commitment to transformation, participants build a new way of being that is rooted in integrity, empathy, and responsibility.
The Horizon Prison Initiative is a transformative, multi-faith behavior change program grounded in character reformation, trauma awareness, and deep reflection on the root causes that lead individuals to incarceration. We believe that lasting change begins with understanding oneself—one's wounds, choices, and capacity for growth. Horizon offers a path forward for incarcerated individuals to reclaim their humanity, rediscover purpose, and become agents of healing in their own lives and communities.

Horizon exists to fill that void.
Our participants live together in a designated dorm, apart from the general prison population. This separation fosters a unique culture of transformation—one where participants can build trust, practice vulnerability, and support one another in the hard, necessary work of change.
Horizon gives participants the tools to confront the ripple effects of their actions—not just the crimes themselves, but the pain and brokenness that often fueled those choices. They learn to see the humanity in others by first reclaiming their own.
Through intensive training in leadership, facilitation, Restorative Practices, and coaching, participants gain skills that prepare them to re-enter their families and communities not just as changed individuals, but as change-makers
