Tomorrow, supporters from across the state will join the fundraising efforts of the Compassionate Samurai Prison Ride. This ride was inspired by the Personal Mastery training Brian Miller introduced to the Washington State jail and prison system in order to reduce the recidivism rate.

> Did you know that 95% of the men who are incarcerated had no loving fatherThat 60% of the men and 85% of the women were sexually molested as children That more than 50% were unemployed at the time of their arrestThat children of inmates are 600% more likely to become incarcerated themselves
