FelonResources
Challenges Entered:
To provide information and resources to formerly incarcerated people to help them become productive, tax-paying members of the community and deflate their burden to society.
To become the most comprehensive source of help on the internet providing resources for those who are coming out of prison. This will be a "Web Portal" to thousands of agencies throughout the country. It is our mission to effectively reduce recidivism, making our communities safer and reducing costs to taxpayers.
WHAT WE NEED:
Additional funding until advertising revenue increases. This research can continue indefinitely on a budget of about $2500 per month. Donations have been minimal due to the "clientel" we serve.
New computers to increase research potential

internet
Internet is widely known around the globe and the project FelonResources would be a great help for those people who were jailed. It is only a move for these felons to still be part of our society after they served their sentence. However, this web should be useful unlike internet scams.
Felon Resources/Hand Up ministries
This is a bunch of scammers being investigated by both Oklahoma state and federal authorities. The loser running felonresources is a convicted child sex offender. The Hand Up Ministries he is involved in has now been exposed by the group saveokc.com and local media as being a child sex cult. Their swindles around town have been gaining lots of attention.
True Rehabilitation
There's no doubt that our penal system is lacking in its stated primary purpose, to punish and then rehabilitate those who commit crimes. I believe that something should be done to improve the prospects for meaningful employment, i.e., to seal criminal records after so many years after release, to offer tax incentives to employers, and to reinstate full rights of citizenship for those who have demonstrated they are no longer a threat to society.
