Today this
great city is beset with a 5 year debt due to medical expenses of the
homeless
living within the city. The city is experiencing drugs, crime and
homelessness
at a perpetually demoralizing rate.
Rick
Prescott, a long-time ABLE supporter, heard of a failing half-way
house/
homeless shelter which was about to close.
Plainly
seen, this would not help solve the problem already gripping this city
—
instead, it would only drive it further into debt.
So, Rick decided to
turn that failing program into a Criminon "New Life" center, taking
the existing personnel and training them on the technology employed by
Criminon, developed by L. Ron Hubbard.
Having now
adopted Criminon program components, and also operating out of a new
home and
in a safe environment, the program took off.
Eddie
Taylor, a graduate of the program stated in a speech, "This course
touched
my soul and has encouraged me to be the best person I can be today. I
truly
believe that if this course had been introduced in the beginning, the
revolving
door syndrome that happens today would be shut down. I believe that if
I had
the opportunity to participate in The Way to Happiness
course the first
or second time [of incarceration], I would have had a much better
chance of not
becoming a six-time repeat offender."
The center
has also been granted their license as a drug and alcohol recovery
center by
the California State Department of Drug and Alcohol. It now operates at
an
average of 50 students on the program at a time, and the center is
still
expanding — now having control of over 200 beds throughout 4
hotels in the
area.

Criminon Program and
Whether you
are a parent hoping to help your child with study, a community leader
hoping to
raise the quality of life for coming generations, or a prison official
holding
to a belief that somehow true rehabilitation is possible, we can help.
ABLE
offers tools that range from books and courses to specially designed
programs
that address specific local challenges.
We don’t
have to watch helplessly as our children and communities suffer.
Something
can be done.
