During our live events, we have a segment called Diamond In The Rough, where we distribute a few business-style cards emblazoned with a gold emblem and text explaining that the card is to be passed from one incarcerated individual to another as a type of self-perpetuation recognition program among themselves. A flyer can also be provided to facilities to post in public areas to explain and promote the concept. The business cards can also be given by staff to recognize the positive behavior of an individual. 

​

It is a simple way to recognize those who are making an effort to care about those around them, those who choose to work towards change, and those who try to make a difference in the lives of others in some way or another. Often, little things can lead to bigger things. Much like how ordinary carbon is turned to a diamond through the pressure and heat deep within the roughest parts of the earth. 

​

There is an email on the back of the card where friends and family of an incarcerated individual can write to explain how they were awarded the card. The names are documented below to recognize and appreciate those who are working to a difference within the prison atmosphere, those who are Diamonds in the Rough. 

We aim to both protect each individual's identity as wall as providing recognition. All entries here are posted by request. If you would like yoru information modified at any time, please contact us.
