  • GOGI Leader Alberto Barreto tells us how a childhood of pain and abuse led to his life in prison. He is ashamed of himself and his acts and wants to keep others away from his life's mistakes.
    GOGI creates a positive culture shift, which finds its roots in an independent study curricula that can be completed in English or Spanish. GOGI programming helps prisoners live a successful life, both in prison and after, upon their return to broader society. Our materials include several books and exercises that are meant to help them deal with their problems and prepare them to live as part of a community.
    The U.S. prison system is not sustainable and more than 90% of all prisoners will be released back into our communities, most with nearly impossible odds of success.
    Getting Out by Going In (GOGI) is a positive cultural movement created by prisoners for other prisoners that serves as an alternative to the violence and crime rampant in U.S. prisons. Offered in cost-effective programming, in-cell self-study courses, or correspondence courses, GOGI programming further supports the positive decision-making of the U.S. prison population and better prepares them for success upon their release.
    Want to know more about the GOGI (Getting Out by Going In) Program?
    GOGI was founded in 2002 when (then psychology student) Dr. "Coach" Taylor began volunteering with a small group of Federal Prisoners at FCI Terminal Island in San Pedro, California, USA. The prisoners were asked what it would take for them to be "successful" when they were sent home.

    Every once in a while, the penitentiary gets to full. So, they start looking for people to release and the inmates that tried to better themselves when it seemed hopeless, are the ones that will have the best shot amongst the lifers, to go home one day.

    It's not over Alberto. You can still get it all back. The way to do that is you give back at least as much that you have taken. You have taken several lives, so now it is your duty to save just as many. You have stolen infinite time, so you will have give of yourself infinite time. But, God is just, so it may not be that all of that infinite time necessarily must be spent in a place of pain and suffering. I agree that SB 260 was a good law, and if you are willing to prove you are worthy of it, one of these days, the parole board will see that. You won't have to prove it any longer. You will in effect parole yourself. You see, prison isn't a place or a thing. It is a mentality. There are many who walk outside of those walks, thinking they've escaped, but they are prisoners of their own mind. But, you can be free, no matter where you are. It is a choice you make. Free your mind, free your soul, and the body will follow.

    It's a shame that people throw their lives away by taking the lives of others before finding their life.

    I am so sad how his father and the people around him mold him the man that he was, The man who is supposed to protect him , love and help him, fathers and mothers are responsible for their kids’ future. Forgiveness is a blessing. We are free to choose, each day we have choices to make. And each choice has consequences. Please choose what leads you free to choose again and again.
