    F5 Porject  was founded in 2016 by a former inmate, F5 helps to coordinate services and provide personal support in order to deter repeat offenses. After serving time and realizing the lack of services once released from prison, F5’s founder realized that if we as a society are unable to help break the cycle in an individual’s life that led them to crime, we will fail. If we are able to provide continued support when they leave confinement, we have a greater chance of positively impacting a former inmate’s life by leveling barriers. That benefits all of us, as well as the former offender.
