The New Convict Code

The US prison industrial complex is in desperate need of repair. Corrections has become 
big business in America and a young, misguided generation is fueling a system built to 
fail. More and more kids are hitting the streets and lining up to go behind the razor 
wire. What is the solution?     

What if reformed felons could change the future of the next generation? Kit Cummings’ bold vision—borne out of twelve years 
working with more than ten thousand offenders—flips the script on prison reform and disrupts the pipeline from schools to 
prisons. He replaces the current gang-inspired convict code with one that integrates respect, integrity, and dignity, giving 
prisoners the freedom to dream big dreams and become positive role models to a young generation at risk. 

Brothers who have been behind the wire share powerful lessons with our youth, redirecting their path and ending the violence 
in the streets and in their hearts. The proven success of Kit’s Power of Peace Project lays the groundwork for a future with 
less violence, declining prison populations, and a more sound and just prison system.

In 2010, Kit Cummings founded the Power of Peace Project. Using the experience he gained resolving conflict in some of the 
most dangerous areas in the world, he applies his principles to bring about change in prisons, schools, corporations, and the 
faith-based community.

Kit has worked with the incarcerated in over a hundred prisons, jails, detention centers, and rehab facilities and served over 
ten thousand prisoners. The New Convict Code brings solutions to the growing epidemic of crime and violence we are 
witnessing among today’s youth.
