Our clients talk about how Thresholds works in their lives.
“I was in the kitchen and someone ‘called me out’. I had to take a good look at myself and choose what was right or wrong. I walked away. I didn’t react.”
“I think more clearly about what I want or what I say or do before I do it. It opened my mind.”
“In an argument with my girlfriend, I asked her to think about the whole thing. but I didn’t get mad at all.”
“I really liked the program. I really think it’s going to help me and I want to thank all of my teachers.”
“When I was at work release, I got a couple of guys together and we shared ideas of finding a job.”
‘This program improved my relationship with my family.”
“At first I came to get out of the cell, but realized it was a great help and was glad to come to the sessions”
“When I first heard of the “time” I was getting, instead of reacting, I looked at the whole picture and now I’m using this time to better myself.”
“I actually applied the steps a few weeks back when I was put in a negative situation that could have resulted in me getting sent to ‘the hole’.”
“In observing situations that don’t pertain to me, I avoid getting involved. I walk away.”
“I would recommend this program to any inmate. Got something out of it he could use.”
“I could sit and write a letter to a lawyer.”
“Learned to view things in different ways from Artforming. I liked it a lot.”

“I had a problem with my ‘cellie’. I didn’t get mad, but blew it off using Thresholds.”
“When someone on the block angered me, I went to some other older inmates and got some feedback on how to handle the situation.”
“Daily situations in the kitchen. Making the right decisions, think first and evaluate.”
“I’ve looked for my options for when I get out.”
My teacher gives me inspiration. He shows me that I can change and be the person I want to be.”
“When I had a problem with another inmate, I thought about the possibilities and resolved it peacefully, instead of jumping to conclusions and fighting.”
“ The other day in the kitchen instead of me flipping out I stepped back and talked it out with my supervisor.”
“ Just last week… A friend of mine didn’t write as quick as they promised. Normally, I would have jumped to conclusions and wrote or called and blow up. I decided to be still and now I heard from my friend that there were legit reasons behind it.”
