“The new convict code is a brilliant & unique book that starts by empowering men & women from the toughest prisons, jails, detention centers & rehab facilities to bring about peace from behind the razor wires! I’ve known Kit since 1996 where he studied the Bible with me, he was always a man of faith, conviction and honest passion. THIS is the man CNN, FOX, etc. need to have on to speak about real peace solutions. His 10,000 hours helping to turn around the prison industrial complex is evident on every page. A must read for those dealing race, violence, and addiction issues!”
