GETTING OUT BY GOING IN (GOGI) is dedicated to the release preparation of incarcerated men, women and children..

GETTING OUT BY GOING IN provides simple tools for making positive choices. Delivered in our books, workbooks, workshops and classroom settings, GOGI is focused on one thing: Positive Choices.

The GOGI program is designed to help participants “Get Out” of old behavior by “Going In” for self-improvement. Our coaches empower the individual with information, opportunity and support for lasting change.
Tell us about yourself & your interest in prison dharma: (answer required) .
GETTING OUT BY GOING IN (GOGI) supports positive decision making skills for the 2.3 million men, women and children behind bars in the United States of America. We do this through our specific projects:

1. GOGI Books: In a readable 328 page softbound format, PRISON: GETTING OUT BY GOING IN combines clinically proven cognitive tools with simple examples and application for supporting behavioral change for the incarcerated. PRISON: GETTING OUT BY GOING IN is supported entirely by donation. Approved for distribution to most prisons, PRISON: GETTING OUT BY GOING IN is also sold to the general public on amazon.com, borders.com, barnesandnoble.com, target.com, and most other online booksellers. The book is offered free of charge to any requesting inmate through donor contributions and offered to prison libraries and prison education programs at a liberal discount.

2. GOGI Campus: With the goal of reducing our nation’s recidivism rate, GOGI has the goal of a GOGI Campus within every facility of incarceration throughout the United States, the first GOGI Campus opened February 16, 2008 at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Century Regional Detention Facility for women. In this unique Community Collaboration Reentry Project, detained women participate in a full immersion program designed to educate and support the positive decision making essential for reentry success. Knowing a continuum of care is essential in eliminating recidivism, the “graduating students” are assigned a GOGI Coach to support them through the reentry process. Graduates are required in some cases by the courts to participate in GOGI community service after their release. The GOGI Campus program is quickly becoming an alternative to state prison sentencing with an increasing number of inmates receiving on-going GOGI education, participation and community service as their court ordered punishment for crimes.

3. GOGI Workshops: As a powerful presentation of positive mental health concepts delivered in 2 hour to 3 day workshop format, the GOGI workshops are available to any setting of incarceration at a nominal fee. The GOGI workshops began as a volunteer effort of Coach Taylor in 2002 at FCI Terminal Island. Since that time the GOGI workshop has earned the rare distinction as the most successful secular volunteer program to receive the rare inclusion into the mandated release preparation, drug treatment, and anger management curriculum at Terminal Island Federal Prison in San Pedro, California. The GOGI program at Terminal Island, which consists of groups of up to 65 inmates meeting weekly to learn the GOGI tools, has been a consistent program for more than five years. More than 600 inmates have graduated from the GOGI programs taught in English and Spanish at FCI Terminal Island.

4. GOGI Peer Coaching: Graduates of the GOGI program who are released from custody are invited to participate in PEER COACH TRAINING of coaches and past participants held each week in the Los Angeles area. Once competency in teaching the GOGI tools is proven, the graduate earns the title of GOGI Peer Coach and is given the opportunity to speak to groups and organizations. Many graduates have expressed a need to share their learning with other inmates. Even while incarcerated via mail correspondence, homework and certification requirements, inmates receive certification as Peer Coaches and are trained in the teaching of the GOGI tools. GOGI supports these Peer Coaches as they assemble groups and utilize the GOGI book to teach concepts to others.

5. GOGI Correspondence: As an on-going support, GOGI supports inmates through letters and newsletters responding to the written requests for assistance in the process of lasting change. Inmates who read the GOGI book or who participate in the GOGI workshop oftentimes feel compelled to share their experience or ask questions. Inmates contribute to our GOGI website, sharing their successes with others.

6. GOGI Lecture/Speaking: Promoting a greater understanding of human potential, positive mental health, and the possibility of lasting life changes, GOGI supports lectures within the setting of incarceration as well as to organizations involved with at risk or incarcerated individuals. Former inmates, coaches and volunteers participate in speaking about GOGI and the GOGI tools for rapid and lasting changes. Coach Taylor is also active in sharing her experience in human behavioral change linked to cognitive tools and perceptual shifts. Most recently Coach Taylor’s lectures and speaking engagements include: the World Congress on Psychology and Spirituality in Delhi India, the Los Angeles Department of Juvenile Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons, Pepperdine University School of Education and Psychology, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, Court TV Radio, WOR Radio New York, Recovery Talk Radio and others.
