Tonight, 5/30/25, PEP Board of Parole Hearings Preparation is conducting Mock Hearings at RJ Donovan E yard, facilitated by Joel Abreu, a stalwart leader of the group. I want to thank him for his service to the men in PEP and being a selfless leader. It makes me happy to know there are many men continuing to benefit from the group I created in 2004.

Congratulations to Michael Perez for achieving parole suitability today at RJDonovan. Mike is an original member of the PEP group on A yard. He was a facilitator and leader in the group. After 26 years, he finally earned Suitability. Co-founder Tommy Gray, myself, the PEP Outside Team, and the entire PEP Family want to congratulate Mike and his family on this wonderful achievement. The BPH asked him what his favorite group was. Mike’s response was the PEP program, because the group helped him heal his trauma. What an honor it is for all of us. A special mention of gratitude to Fritzi Horstman, founder of The Compassion Prison Project, for her generous donations of the Trauma Talks series. Your addition to our curriculum has had a major impact on the healing of our group members and public safety.
