What is GOGI?

Getting Out by Going In  (GOGI) is an organization staffed entirely by community volunteers and formerly incarcerated volunteers who are dedicated to helping incarcerated men, women and children make better choices. We offer simple tools for positive decision making.
GOGI is important because the government cannot correct the problem of high re-arrest rates and as a nation, we do not need to waste any more money.
GOGI is needed because currently 90 percent of all prisoners will return back into our society. Now, most of them return with increased criminal skills.

What are the 12 tools of GOGI? GOGI is Changing the System from the Inside Out through specific initiatives. GOGI is a non-profit organization responding to decreasing budgets for education and rehabilitative services to incarcerated men, women and children.  We encourage the self-education of inmates by providing our materials and services to inmates and institutions. At GOGI (pronounced with a hard "G" as in Yogi,) we know the inmate has an opportunity to self-correct; we believe it is essential in reducing recidivism and supporting increasing the safety in our communities.

To meet this need, GOGI has mounted a national campaign to "Change the System from the Inside Out," calling on institutions and inmates to look beyond diminishing budgets to the proven benefit of self-education offered by GOGI.  Utilizing the simple Twelve Tools of GOGI as our foundation for learning, these simple cognitive and behavioral tools were developed through intense work with thousands of Federal, State and County inmates who regularly assisted in the streamlining of complex concepts. The GOGI tools work to change cognition and behavior because they were designed for the inmates, by the inmates.
