Levi Wright

Levi Wright is a new PPTG member. PPTG isn’t a mandated program, it is a place where Levi has met some real genuine people and can let his guard down—a safe haven where he can just be him and doesn’t have to wear a “mask.” PPTG is a community where everyone learns from each other and most of all, they are a family. Levi’s participation gives him a therapeutic environment and helps motivate his self-worth that lets him know he is still human and can communicate his prison experience to the outside world and make a difference. Levi is currently serving a 20-year sentence, and even though incarcerated he’s dedicated to his morals and values and continues to maintain strong family ties. Family is first. Even though he is locked up physically, his mind is free, and he supports his family spiritually and mentally. Over his lifetime, Levi has been a certified electrician and continues his profession in Auburn Correctional Facility working in the maintenance department fixing lighting, electrical problems, plumbing issues, and the like, which helps him make his days productive while incarcerated. Levi is a facilitator in the Alternative to Violence Program (AVP) in which other incarcerated people learn that there are other ways to deal with issues and emotions other than being in a physical confrontation. These tools can be used in prison and in the community beyond the walls. All these things make Levi a proud PPTG member, giving back and paying it forward.
