The New Convict Code
The US prison industrial complex is in desperate need of repair. Corrections has become big business in America and a young, misguided generation is fueling a system built to fail. More and more kids are hitting the streets and lining up to go behind the razor wire. What is the solution?

What if reformed felons could change the future of the next generation? Kit Cummings' bold vision—borne out of twelve years working with more than ten thousand offenders—flips the script on prison reform and disrupts the pipeline from schools to prisons. He replaces the current gang-inspired convict code with one that integrates respect, integrity, and dignity, giving prisoners the freedom to dream big dreams and become positive role models to a young generation at risk.

Brothers who have been behind the wire share powerful lessons with our youth, redirecting their path and ending the violence in the streets and in their hearts. The proven success of Kit's Power of Peace Project lays the groundwork for a future with less violence, declining prison populations, and a more sound and just prison system.

In 2010, Kit Cummings founded the Power of Peace Project. Using the experience he gained resolving conflict in some of the most dangerous areas in the world, he applies his principles to bring about change in prisons, schools, corporations, and the faith-based community.

Kit has worked with the incarcerated in over a hundred prisons, jails, detention centers, and rehab facilities and served over ten thousand prisoners. THE NEW CONVICT CODE brings solutions to the growing epidemic of crime and violence we are witnessing among today's youth.

About the Author

In 2010, Kit Cummings founded the Power of Peace Project. Using the experience he gained resolving conflict in some of the most dangerous areas in the world, he applies his principles to bring about change in prisons, schools, corporations, and the faith-based community. On MLK Day 2020, Kit was recognized by the NAACP, receiving their Living the Dream Award for his contribution to civil rights and his work with at-risk youth and prison reform. He was appointed to the Georgia House of Representatives Committee on Youth Gangs and Violence Prevention in 2019, as part of Governor Kemp’s initiative to reform prisons and eliminate youth gang violence.

Kit has worked with the incarcerated in over a hundred prisons, jails, detention centers, and rehab facilities and served over ten thousand prisoners. He has journeyed on tours through Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America, and has negotiated peace between some of the most notorious gangs inside the US prison system. He delivered an address at the Gandhi Global Peace Summit in Durban, South Africa, to representatives from the Gandhi, King, and Mandela families, as well as other iconic peacemakers from around the world. Kit has taken his Forty Days to Freedom program into La Mesa prison in Tijuana, Mexico, to work with men who are striving to be free, as well as working with addicts and at-risk youth in some of the toughest areas of that war-torn border city. Kit has planted seeds of peace all around the world.

Kit has authored five books, including the award-winning Peace Behind the Wire: A Nonviolent Resolution, which has been endorsed by the King Center in Atlanta, GA. The Power of Peace Project interrupts and redirects young people who are on a perilous course and sets them firmly on the pathway to extraordinary dreams.
