This $40 Workbook Is Doing What $80 Billion in Prison Reform Still Can’t

America spends over $80 billion a year on incarceration. Every year, we release 700,000 people, and within three years, two-thirds return.

Politicians call it “reform.” I call it repetition.

The truth is, you can’t reform a system that’s still teaching people to see themselves as broken. You can’t fix behavior if you never address identity.

That’s why I created the Change The Game (CTG) Educational Program, a 12-week curriculum built around one simple but radical idea: change the story, and you change the outcome.

The CTG Workbook is 118 pages. It’s practical identity work, exercises, reflections, and strategies that teach people how to rewrite their personal narratives, think critically, and move with intention.

The program costs $40 per participant.
Forty dollars to shift a mindset. Forty dollars to start a chain reaction that can change families, communities, and futures.

Compare that to the $35,000 a year it costs to keep one person incarcerated.
If transformation was measured by budgets, we’d have won the war on recidivism decades ago. But real change doesn’t come from billion-dollar systems, it comes from one person realizing they’re capable of something more.

Every workbook in someone’s hands represents a different possibility, a new version of the same person. The one who starts thinking strategically, communicating differently, setting goals, and seeing themselves as valuable.

That’s what $40 can do. That’s what Change The Game is doing, inside youth programs, shelters, and classrooms across America.

The government keeps investing in cages.
We’re investing in freedom.

And we’re proving that transformation doesn’t need billions, it just needs belief, a blueprint, and a book.
