Inspiring Transformation Behind Bars...

A partnership to bring hope, purpose, and lasting change to California’s prison system through moral rehabilitation.

Inside the walls of Mule Creek State Prison, a quiet revolution is taking place. What was once just another correctional facility is now becoming a beacon of hope—where incarcerated men are stepping into classrooms instead of conflict, finding purpose instead of despair.

Through Paid in Full California’s moral rehabilitation education program, these men are not just earning degrees—they are becoming leaders, mentors, and agents of change. Inspired by the transformation seen in Angola Prison, we have brought this proven model to California, equipping men with the tools to reshape their lives and the culture around them.

The impact is already evident. Lives are being restored. Hope is rising.

And with your support, this is just the beginning.

What Our Students Say

September 28th, 2024, Soldiers of the Cross Motorcycle Club blessed the inaugural kick-off event at Mule Creek prison for the S.U.M Theological Bible College bachelor’s degree program.  10 years of prayer and faith came into fruition.  Native Americans at Mule Creek invited the Soldiers of the Cross onto the Sweat Lodge grounds to pray for Holy Creator’s blessings on all parties.  God opened a door for Chief Cornerstone to make them to be part of the Native Circle Sweat Lodge ceremony for the future.  Amen!

It’s easy to become overwhelmed by 42 years of the adverse cultural conditioning of incarceration.  Even after being liberated, redeemed and empowered by the gospel of Jesus Christ, I often labored in isolation against consumer Christianity, in favor of Christlikeness.  SUM has provided us with much needed community, connection and direction for me to learn, grow and transform, not only for myself but to become an agent of change for those around me.

It is an amazing feeling to have people believe that you can change.  It is truly a blessing when an organization like PIFC not only believes, but also leads in that change.
