Our Story
A chance visit to a prison in India opened my eyes to a world hidden in plain sight–overcrowded cells, crumbling walls, and the quiet resilience of women and children living alongside their incarcerated mothers. What began as a moment of curiosity became a turning point. I realized that behind every prison door was not just punishment, but potential –stories waiting for redemption and voices longing to be heard.

​
Guided by my lifelong belief in service and second chances, I founded The Prison and Beyond Initiative (PABI); a foundation committed to restoring dignity to prisoners and their families, advocating for humane prison reforms, and building bridges of hope for those society has forgotten.
