We are deeply honored to receive the 2026 Dr. Kenneth Walker Community Service Award from @APAIparole. This award recognizes an individual or an organization which has contributed significantly to the furthering of the rehabilitative efforts of parole.

We presented “Reentry After Parole: Applied Learnings from Impacted Leaders” at the @APAIparole annual conference today in New Orleans.

The panel highlighted how our efforts, strengthened by collaboration with parole and corrections partners, is improving public safety.

Smiley spent 60 years at Angola before getting his freedom three years ago. He had no family left so @paroleproject brought him home and supported his reentry. Tragically, he was struck by a car while crossing a street in early January and passed away on January 31st. RIP friend.

Baton Rouge business owner, Eric Lane of Gerry Lane Enterprises, testified before the Administration of Criminal Justice Committee on the power of second chance hiring and collaboration with local nonprofit @paroleproject. Thank you, Chairwoman Debbie Villio for your leadership in making this hearing possible! #lalege #lagov

God Behind Bars entered Angola, the largest maximum-security prison in the United States, to host a father-daughter dance for incarcerated fathers and their daughters. The success of the event has sparked plans for a similar experience for fathers and their sons.

[Louisiana Parole Project @paroleproject]

We commend the Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections and @GodBehindBars for providing such an amazing day to these fathers and daughters. Moments like these allow families to strengthen bonds, create lasting memories, and remind children that they are loved. #lagov
