so our eits are learning this as well.ow to best love their own children and their spouses, not just that but even letting your employees and your company. then we have a course on how to give a meaningful apology to make amends. the languages of apology which is not just saying i'm sorry but actual offering restitution and say i'm sorry and i was wrong are two different things. we have courses in etiquette come just now to be polite, how to be a gentleman or a gentlewoman. we have a two hour dining etiquette course that i couldn't leave after taking this how rude i was. [laughter] it was taught by an emily post etiquette instructor. >> i love this felons get instruction from emily post instructor. that's good. i like that. >> emily post meets hip-hop is the instructor we chose to exhibit getting all these soft skill courses on like what is the definition of integrity. so many courses that are working on them as people and like one of our eits just told me a week ago he said i sit at the computer watching these courses and

one of our eit's told me, i watch these courses. my 11-year-old son is watching them with me, asking me questions. that is pretty awesome. laura: what do you think the differences between people in prison who discover you and those who as you said, not everybody wants to be redeemed. and the time you have been doing this work, do you have any sense about the difference? catherine: that is a good question. i always wonder, why wouldn't you want to change if you can? one person set it to media best. he said, when you have been put in the trashcan, thrown away by the people who are supposed to love you, most of our eit's came from dysfunctional families where family members left them and abuse them, when you have been put in the trash, you start to believe these lies about yourself. you're not worth anything. you're never going to amount to anything. you're going to keep putting yourself in the trashcan. laura: you think some guys cannot get past that. catherine: they have not had a different division he did for them. they don't leave

it is to serve up to 500 eit's plus their family members.r the time next year, we will raise a staff. we are looking to hire an executive director and a team here that can lead this important work. there is such a huge need out here. google has come to us, not just with funding, but they are hosting our competition. it is amazing what a corporation can do. i am shocked we are here in the bay area. laura: i think this is a great place to do it. there are a lot of entrepreneurs here who have been through the ringer, who probably would love to give back. catherine: california, you have a serious prison problem, and a serious entrepreneurial spirit. there's not a better place for defy. laura: there is a stat i want to get out about the number of people in prison. catherine: we are the world leaders. laura: it seems like, what is it? 100 million people -- catherine: 100 million with criminal histories. but are not currently incarcerated. we have the highest capital incarceration rate. there are about 2 million in prison, but also 10 million cycle
