The non-profit organization was founded in 1999 by Jeh Jeh Pruitt and his wife after his youngest brother, Dannon Pruitt, was killed by a person that been release from prison (only weeks before the murder) on a non violent offense. It was established to help all persons in transition, especially those with addictions on the road to recovery, unemployed, underemployed, at-risk youth and adults, and specifically non-violent offenders reentering society.
