Our Mission
Sam’s Mirror Project Corporation is dedicated to supporting the successful reintegration of formerly incarcerated individuals by providing holistic re-entry services including mentorship, job training, mental health support, housing assistance, and personal development. We aim to break the cycle of recidivism through reflection, accountability, and transformation.
Sam’s Mirror Project was born from a place of deep pain, reflection, and a commitment to transformative change. In July 2012, my son (Samuel) alongside a group of peers he once considered friends made decisions that drastically altered the course of his life and the lives of those who love him. As a result, he was convicted of robbery. That moment not only reshaped his reality, but it also served as the catalyst for a larger vision: to support individuals reentering society after incarceration with the dignity, structure, and opportunity they deserve.
I recognize that when my son returns home, his life will be fundamentally different. The barriers he will face—social, economic, and psychological are shared by thousands of others navigating the reentry process. Sam’s Mirror Project is not just a response to his experience; it is a commitment to ensuring that others have a pathway to restoration, growth, and purpose.
To my son (Samuel), and to all who have stumbled along life’s journey: You made a mistake; you are not a mistake. Your story does not end with a conviction. It is through accountability, self-awareness, and service to others that you can transform your life and the lives of those around you.
Sam’s Mirror Project is a reflection of that belief—a “mirror” through which formerly incarcerated individuals can see themselves not as broken, but as resilient, capable, and worthy of a second chance.
The mirror represents reflection—not only of one’s past, but also of untapped potential and the power to change. “Sam” symbolizes the everyday person who, despite challenges, dares to grow, evolve, and contribute meaningfully to society.
With your support, we can break the cycle of recidivism and give men and women the tools they need to reflect, take accountability, and transform their future
