Reaching Out From Within

Reaching Out From Within (ROFW) is an incarcerated-led program that empowers residents to transform themselves and heal each other. ROFW is a national leader in rehabilitation programs for incarcerated individuals and utilizes factual-based concepts, welcoming volunteers and incarcerated men and women of all clerical and belief systems. The prison residents do this by leading their meetings, helping each other transform, and healing each other. The two programs offered by this organization are the ROFW Blue Book curriculum and the Kansas Prison System program. The Blue Book program is a therapy-based curriculum developed by and for incarcerated individuals. The program material covers topics such as addiction, anger, child abuse, communication, conflict, domestic violence, respect, self, and spirituality. The Kansas Prison System program, in collaboration with the Kansas Department of Corrections (KDOCs), provides every (returning citizen) released from prison the tools they need to succeed in the community by using evidence-based practices. The goal of the prison program is simple: to transform lives and change feelings of hopelessness, despair and disconnection to hope, affirmation, empathy and love.
