Overview

"It may surprise some to learn that the United States not only incarcerates more of its citizens than any other country in the world, but it is facing intense prison overcrowding and funding issues, putting financial burden on taxpayers by needlessly sending nonviolent felony offenders to jail. The solution to this growing problem, IDP: The Thirteen Components to Criminal Thinking and Behavior is based on Traci Farris's Incarceration Diversion Program (IDP), a pilot program that is changing the face of prison reform for the better, saving taxpayers money, and saving lives by offering nonviolent felony offenders a new lease on life. In this breakdown of how the program works, learn the secrets to creating a functional program that habilitates nonviolent offenders with substance abuse barriers and mental illnesses, avoiding costly, and traumatic, prison stays. With a 100 percent success rate in three years, IDP is a working program whose results see criminality significantly decreased. About the Author Traci Farris is a philanthropist, visionary, and prison reformist. She is the owner of Farris Inc. and the creator of the Incarceration Diversion Program (IDP). She has become an advocate for justice with the creation of the IDP's 13 central components to criminal thinking and behavior. Farris earned an associate degree in psychology and a bachelor's degree in social science from the University of Wyoming. She has 11 certifications, including addiction practitioner, NLP practitioner, suicide prevention, cultural competency, victim advocacy, adult drug court, and life coaching.

When asked to describe herself, Farris will quickly answer: ""I am a mother; before anything else, family."" Adopted as a child and the youngest of five siblings in her family, Farris has lived in Wyoming almost her entire life. Today, she continues to make Wyoming her home with her children. She enjoys gardening, coaching sports, hiking, hunting, and fishing with family."
