Persevere’s first-ever behind-the-walls Code-a-Thon—live from our women’s facility at Perryville!
Watch as justice-impacted women showcase their tech skills, creativity, and collaboration in a powerful celebration of growth, resilience, and second chances.
At Persevere, we believe that second chances don’t just change lives—they shape leaders who go on to uplift others. And today, we are thrilled to celebrate one of those leaders: Stacey Books, our incredible Director of Programs, who was just named Nexstar’s 2025 Remarkable Woman of the Year!
This special edition of Fair Chance Fridays celebrates Second Chance Month and our Arizona Gives Day campaign to uplift justice-impacted individuals and build a more equitable, opportunity-rich Arizona.
With Persevere Tennessee, we want to celebrate the incredible transformation of youth, their parents, and the greater families within their communities. See what two staff members involved in our Families First program have to say among the graduation of the Families First Youth Class of 2024.

GARDNER, Mass. — Inside the barbed wire walls of NCCI Gardner, a small group of inmates is taking advantage of a new initiative that could change their lives
It’s called “Persevere,” and it’s teaching web-building skills to inmates like Alejandro Queiroz-Santana.
The power to change starts right now. It’s not waiting for you on the outside. Pain and adversity don’t automatically produce growth—it’s how we respond during those hard times that defines us. This certificate isn’t just a piece of paper—it’s proof that we chose potential over limitations.” – Adrian Ruiz, Red Rock Graduate
