When I Get To Prison

Introduction

REHABILITATION BEGINS ON DAY ONE.

WIG2P — When I Get To Prison — was born from a simple realization: there is no reason to wait for tomorrow to begin changing your life. Whether you are facing a case, sitting in a jail or prison, preparing for release, or rebuilding after incarceration, your circumstances do not have to prevent you from taking action. The work can begin wherever you are, with whatever you have, starting today.

WIG2P exists to help people turn that opportunity into documented growth. We believe education, accountability, personal responsibility, purposeful action, and community can change the direction of a person’s future. That means learning your case, understanding your role, accepting responsibility, developing yourself, documenting what you accomplish, building meaningful mitigation, preparing for reentry, and surrounding yourself with people who believe that change is possible.

This is more than a collection of stories, articles, or resources. It is a movement built around action. Every book read, every lesson learned, every class completed, every certificate earned, every relationship repaired, every act of service, every personal reflection, and every documented milestone can become part of a larger story of transformation. We believe people should not wait until release to begin rebuilding their lives. Rehabilitation Begins on Day One.

What is the mission here at WIG2P?

About The Mission

WIG2P is a movement dedicated to helping justice-impacted individuals rebuild their future through education, documented growth, accountability, and purposeful action.

We believe rehabilitation is not something that begins at prison or ends with release. It begins on Day One. Whether someone is in pretrial detention, fighting a case from the outside, incarcerated, preparing for release, or rebuilding their life after incarceration, there is an opportunity to begin changing the direction of their future.

Our mission is to turn that opportunity into action. Through education, case awareness, mitigation, personal development, documented progress, community, and preparation for reentry, WIG2P helps people take responsibility for where they are, recognize where they want to go, and begin building the evidence of who they are becoming. We believe real change is not simply something a person promises — it is something a person can demonstrate through consistent action.

LEARN. GROW. DOCUMENT. ACT.

The work starts with whatever you’re facing right now — pretrial, awaiting sentencing, incarcerated, or supporting someone who is.

Learn

Learn your case, if that’s where you are. No one knows your life, your history, and your circumstances better than you do.

Grow

Build the record that speaks for you: education, mindset, accountability. Growth doesn’t wait for a court date.

Document

Create real evidence of who you’re becoming — personal narratives, book reports, accountability, whatever proves it.

Act

Turn what you’ve learned and built into action, starting today, not after release.

Here’s what most people never hear: FSA and Second Chance Act credits — the programs that can shorten time actually served — don’t begin until after sentencing. Time spent fighting a case pretrial, however long it takes, earns none of it under current policy. WIG2P exists because that time still matters. What you build during it still counts, for your case and your future, even when the system doesn’t count it yet.

SUPPORT THE MOVEMENT

WIG2P runs on more than money. Read the book and pass it to someone who needs it. Mentor someone fighting a case. Share your own story. Or give financially to help send books and resources to the people who need them most. However you show up, it moves the mission forward.
