Prisoner’s Pardon Advocacy

Justice. Respect. Accountability. Forgiveness.

Prisoner’s Pardon Advocacy (PPA) is a nonprofit supporting formerly incarcerated individuals through reintegration. Our proprietary Forgiveness RE-Model Support—used by returning citizens and everyday community members alike—promotes justice, personal accountability, mutual respect, and forgiveness to help people rebuild and sustain healthy, happy and productive lives.

What sets Prisoner’s Pardon Advocacy apart from other re-entry approaches is our combined legal and spiritual approach to reintegration. This holistic model centers on the strategic use of the pardon process. We recognize that helping individuals understand, qualify for, and actively pursue a pardon is a powerful motivator that can significantly reduce recidivism. Our program prepares people for that opportunity—even before they are fully ready to apply—addressing the legal dimension of restoration.

This is paired with our unique 7-Step Forgiveness RE-Model Support program. Designed for both individual and group use, it recognizes personal, spiritual, and societal forgiveness as essential to successful reintegration and the path toward pardon. The program places everyone on common ground, acknowledging that all people face unmet needs—the difference for justice-impacted individuals lies only in how those needs were expressed.

Equally important, the model balances forgiveness with justice, respect, and accountability. This clear, logically structured, and holistic framework supports justice-impacted adults and youth while also providing everyday people with practical tools to address emotional, cognitive, and behavioral challenges that can otherwise lead to harmful cycles.

The challenges of

Re-Entry

Returning to society after incarceration is fraught with challenges at every turn.

The stigma associated with having a criminal record can be a significant barrier to meeting such fundamental human needs as finding stable housing, securing a decent job, and re-establishing relationships with family and friends. And these challenges are often compounded by the emotional burdens carried by many of these individuals—especially guilt, shame, and a lack of self-respect and self-confidence.

The 7-Step Forgiveness

RE-Model Support

The 7-Step Model is a unique and proprietary framework used exclusively by Prisoner’s Pardon Advocacy. It is more than a program—it is a character-building system designed to support people of any background or age. The model meets individuals where they are and provides a strong foundation for personal growth and healthy relationships, grounded in the principle of forgiveness.

Unlike many approaches, it recognizes personal, spiritual, and societal forgiveness as essential to achieving a balanced and healthy life. It teaches individuals how to face life’s challenges directly rather than avoid them, equipping them with the confidence and tools to respond in constructive ways. This innovative framework offers a clear, logical structure for navigating the many challenges people encounter.

Through its holistic approach, the model supports justice-impacted adults and youth while also addressing the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral patterns that often lead to recidivism. At the same time, it serves everyday people who are working to overcome life’s difficulties, build stronger and more fulfilling lives, and regain the sense of authority and identity needed to navigate the world with purpose.

The Forgiveness RE-Model emphasizes three key dimensions:

Spiritual forgiveness: Exploring and reconciling one’s relationship with faith and spirituality.
Self forgiveness: Acknowledging one’s past mistakes and cultivating compassion for oneself.
Societal forgiveness: Navigating reintegration into society by overcoming stigmas and building supportive relationships.

The 7-Step Forgiveness RE-Model Support program can be applied to both juveniles and adults, including those with minor mental-health disorders or AODA (Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse). It’s a truly versatile tool for a wide range of individuals seeking the path to healing and positive change.

Our mission

At Prisoner’s Pardon Advocacy, our mission is to help the formerly incarcerated enjoy the benefits of forgiveness—whether that means via personal or legal pardons, or both—to profit themselves, their families, and their communities.

That means, first and foremost, providing direct support to individuals. But it also means educating other organizations on incorporating forgiveness principles into their own programming, thereby expanding the reach and impact of this powerful approach to rehabilitation.

By fostering forgiveness, PPA aims to break the cycle of recidivism while creating a more just and compassionate society.
