⚠️ Did you know? Nearly 2 out of 3 people released from prison in the U.S. are rearrested within 3 years. Not because they want to go back — but because systems fail to support real reentry. That’s why we do this work. Healing > punishment. #TakeTrips #MESCheckIn #ReentrySupport

This isn’t a headline it’s a reality shared by one of our own supporters. 41 years of a life defined by a sentence handed down at 16. Yet love, resilience, and humanity remain. At TTMES, we believe no person should be reduced to their past. Healing redefines you not prison walls.

Midweek truth check. 🚨 It’s easy to say you want change. Harder to face the habits keeping you in the same place. Healing isn’t just about feeling better — it’s about choosing different. #TTMES#MESCheckI#BreakTheCycle#HealingJourney #TakeTrips#AccountabilityMatters#SecondChances

Midweek isn’t just a countdown to the weekend. It’s a mirror. 🔍 Ask yourself today: Am I moving toward change, or repeating old cycles? Growth happens when we face the hard questions — and answer honestly. #TTMES #MESCheckIn #BreakTheCycle #AccountabilityMatters #GrowthJourney

Every new week is another chance to rewrite your story. Don’t let yesterday’s mistakes chain you down — the future starts with the choices you make today. At TTMES, we believe change is possible, and it begins with believing in yourself first. #MotivationMonday #TTMES

Kayden’s words remind us that healing starts with self-belief. Every youth has a story, every story carries power, and every step forward proves: You are special. You can rewrite your future. 💭🫀✨ #MESCheckIn #TakeTrips #YouthVoices #SuccessStory #HealingJourney #ImpactFriday

🚫 Myth vs ✅ Fact The world tells youth to ‘tough it out.’ But real strength is admitting you need support. Healing takes more courage than hiding pain. 💭🫀✨ #MESCheckIn #MythVsFact #TakeTrips #HealingJourney #YouthVoices #InnerStrength #SecondChances

In 1975, Ricky Jackson was sentenced for a murder he didn’t commit. He was 18. He walked free at 57. The longest wrongfully-served sentence in U.S. history… and yet, no bitterness. Just: “I’m not going to waste it by holding grudges.” That’s not just forgiveness.That’s freedom.

Midweek. You’ve been moving, talking, smiling, working… But have you checked in with yourself? Not the “I’m good” autopilot. The messy, honest, “this is where I really am” version. #MESCheckIn#SelfAwareness#MentalHealthMatters#CheckOnYourself#WellnessWednesday#mindbodysoul

Growth doesn’t always look perfect. Sometimes it looks like starting over, trying again, and finally doing better — for you. This is what Take Trips MES is about. #MESimpact #TakeTripsMES #YouthVoices #ReentryWithHeart #HealingJourney #ProgressNotPerfection #FromSystemToSelf

You don’t have to say it out loud. Just don’t lie to yourself today. Mental. Emotional. Spiritual. Every part of you deserves honesty. #MESselfcheck #TakeTripsMES #YouthHealing #MentalHealthAwareness #EmotionalCheckIn #SpiritualGrowth #HealingIsWork #OneDayAtATime

They say “just discipline them.” We say: heal them. Because trauma doesn’t disappear through punishment...it deepens. At Take Trips MES, we walk with youth as they rebuild: mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. #MythVsFact #TakeTripsMES #YouthJustice #TraumaInformedCare #MES

“You look like him.” That’s all it took. Richard Anthony Jones spent 17 years in prison, for a crime he didn’t commit. MES isn’t just about healing. It’s about returning to yourself when the system forgets who you are. #TakeTripsMES #ImpactFriday #WrongfulConviction #MES
