Transforming Recovery Inside California’s Prisons
Peer-led recovery programs that bring hope, accountability, and real stories of change to incarcerated Californians.
Impact Inside California Prisons
Many Paths One Destination delivers peer-led recovery outreach programs inside California correctional facilities. Our trained volunteers—individuals with lived recovery experience—bring messages of hope, accountability, connection, and resilience to incarcerated men and women struggling with addiction.
Bringing Hope and a Catalyst for Change
We offer part and full-day prison programs reaching incarcerated individuals.
These programs deliver powerful recovery testimony, meaningful support, and real-world recovery success—often to individuals with limited access to encouragement and resources.
Firewood for Native America Inmate Program
Many Paths One Destination regularly delivers firewood to the Native American Inmates at Corcoran and SATF State Prions. Our latest deliveries were on February 2026 and October 2025. The following is what the firewood is used for as summarized by an inmate at Corcoran.
“In order for the Native American population to practice the Sweat Lodge ceremony, firewood is needed. The wood is used to heat up the Elders, the rocks, so we can take 7 rocks in for each round to purify our bodies and spirits so when we talk to the creator and our ancestors we do so with a pure heart. The lodge is our version of a church. You go in and sweat out the bad so that you can make the connection you need to stay in balance with yourself and the creator. Grandfather. You go four rounds; each round has a meaning. Round one is the beginning of life, infant. The second round is for the men, third round is for the females, and the fourth round is the elder’s round, the closing. Anything after four is considered a warrior’s sweat.”
