Inmate Testimonials
“I would like to start by showing my gratitude, I’ve come to the realization that I live in a society which tends to overlook convicted inmates, so I’m thankful for the time you contribute to instill hope in our lives.”
Ramel Duplin Correctional Center, Kenansville, NC
“Coming out here to enlighten us with your knowledge speaks volumes, for there are many who sit back and castigate inmates for their incarceration instead of trying to help us or understand us as individuals. Not all of us are bad people; we just made errors in judgment. Consequently, we are paying the prices for our transgressions. I truly look forward to another appearance.”
Kenneth Nash Correctional Institution, Nashville, NC
“I attended your workshop a couple of weeks ago. I just want to tell you what a wonderful thing you are doing. This is a great chance to slow down the revolving door of our prisons. Please keep up the good work.”
Scott Orange Correctional Center, Hillsborough, NC
“Prior to your seminar, I had been contemplating just what I would do with the rest of my life once I am released in a couple of years. I have been so self-centered and self-absorbed, but I am now committed to helping others who also struggle with addiction or with disillusioned young people. I only hope to be as passionate about this as you are with your endeavor.”
Tommy Orange Correctional Center, Hillsborough, NC
“I really enjoyed your class. I only wish we could have taken up more of your time. It was really beneficial to me. I could tell you really have a passion for what you do by the way you went into detail and made sure we understood what you were telling and teaching us. Thank you again for the opportunity.”
Orlando Nash Correctional Institution, Nashville, NC

Administrator Testimonials
“The inmates were very receptive to this program. I heard many of them make comments that the session would help them get back on the right track. It allowed them to see a plan for employment upon their release.”
Roger Shepard Duplin Correctional Center, Kenansville, NC
“The inmates appeared to be amazed at the information, and they have requested that Inmates to Entrepreneurs comes back. Many of the inmates possess very useful skills to secure employment. They are talented beauticians, mechanics, and roofing and flooring professionals, yet they are keenly aware that they will now be hindered due to their criminal record. As a result, many inmates are interested in starting their own business.”
Beverly Bess North Piedmont Correctional Center for Women, Lexington, NC
“…The offenders at Forsyth Correctional Center were very eager to receive information about how to start their own business. They were motivated and excited to know that by taking basic steps, their dreams of becoming a business owner were not shattered due to negative choices from their past. They talked about this presentation for weeks.”
