An initiative created by Deep Heart to promote acts of service and brotherhood among the incarcerated population.
Diamond In The Rough: Peer Recognition Initiative - is a program designed to motivate incarcerated individuals to build an atmosphere of brotherhood among themselves by recognizing each other for acts of service, kindness, and positive behavior.
Concept: During our event, and now available to send to facilities, we provide a packet with cards, posters, a certificate, a video, and instructions. Posters are to be placed around the facility and a limited number of “Diamond in the Rough” cards are passed to a few incarcerated individuals. They then pass the card to someone else to recognize them for an act of noble conduct in the prison environment. That individual keeps the card for a while, then passes it to another individual and the card circulates through the group - like a written complement and method of recognition.
The concept is designed to be simple (like the card game “Old Maid” but reversed) to make it easy to implement. However, it can be expanded upon depending on the abilities of each facility. Various options are included in the instructions.
