Juvenile & Prison Program

Federal and state crime statistics revealed that the recidivism rate for incarcerated youth and adults in the United States has more than doubled within the past ten years. Lack of various basic life skills, education, and conflict resolution techniques have greatly attributed to this increase.

Breaking the Cycle, One Choice at a Time

Federal and state crime statistics reveal a sobering reality: the recidivism rate for incarcerated youth and adults in the United States has more than doubled within the past ten years. Without intervention, the cycle continues—prison doors revolving, lives stuck on repeat, communities left unsafe.

The root causes? Research points to a lack of basic life skills, limited education, and an inability to resolve conflict constructively. These gaps leave individuals unprepared for life inside and unequipped for success upon release.

Split 2nd is committed to changing these statistics. Through twice-monthly volunteer visits at local detention centers, Anthony Bryant provides mentorship, job placement assistance, and practical training that prepares incarcerated individuals for a different future.

Why This Program Works

Anthony Bryant speaks from a place of authenticity that resonates with incarcerated individuals. He understands what it means to make a split-second decision that changes everything. He knows the shame, the loss, and the long road back. And he stands as living proof that transformation is possible.

Participants don’t just receive information—they encounter hope. They see someone who walked through similar circumstances and came out the other side with purpose, integrity, and a message to share.

Why This Training Matters

What makes this training different? Anthony Bryant doesn't just teach from a textbook. He provides shocking news footage documenting the real-life consequences he and eleven other officers faced from a single split-second decision. This powerful testimony serves as a stark reminder of how quickly a career—and a life—can change.
