You must pay $50 non-refundable start-up fee and 1 month residential fee of $750 before you will receive an acceptance letter from us once we let you know that we will accept you. If you don’t have the funds, seek a sponsor or save the $100 stipend that you are given in prison each month. We will not validate your acceptance with parole without the fees being paid. (This rule is due to a few taking advantage and failure to pay after we deliver on services).
