Five incarcerated men graduated from Thinking for a Change (T4C) at the Nebraska State Penitentiary (NSP) on August 30, 2019. Secretary Michelle Decker and Quality Assurance Specialist Rusell Ogg instructed the 12-week course. T4C is a high-level cognitive behavioral program developed by the National Institute of Corrections that uses role playing to concentrate on changing the criminogenic thinking of offenders and addresses attitudes, behavior, family, friends and aggression.

“I feel like I can be myself in this class,” said Che Holloway, one of the T4C students. “I learned how to control my emotions and respond to anger.”
