Reform starts from within. In Book 1 of Reform Starts With Us , Nicholas J. Ely challenges the broken prison system by calling for change where it matters most-within the hearts and minds of those incarcerated. Through raw honesty and personal experience, Ely reveals how true rehabilitation begins with taking responsibility, breaking free from the victim mindset, and building a track record of integrity that demands respect from society. This book is not just a manifesto for prison reform-it's a roadmap for personal transformation, resilience, and hope, even when the system tries to silence you.
