About Us

Colorado T.E.N.T. was founded on an unlikely partnership between two prison leaders: one an "Old Head" known for quiet problem-solving, the other an "Old School Convict" known for enforcing the code. They discovered that the most effective path to genuine change—or Desistance—comes from combining practical wisdom with the unique credibility that only lived experience can provide. We are the result of their insight: an in-reach organization that prepares individuals for success before they are released.

Our Mission

To bridge the gap between incarceration and successful reentry by deploying a credible peer-to-peer network inside prisons, providing the mentorship and pre-release support necessary for genuine desistance.
