Reclaiming Me: A Healing Journey for Incarcerated Women
Reclaiming Me empowers women to heal from trauma, build resilience, strengthen family connections, and develop reentry plans that prepare them for a successful return home. It is more than a program, it is a lifeline. Through trauma-informed care, peer support, and practical reentry preparation, it restores dignity, creates hope, and helps women see themselves not as defined by incarceration, but as leaders, mothers, daughters, and changemakers.

The Pretense of Justice
by Dr. Carmen Johnson
For centuries, The United States of America has been known as the land of the free and the home of the brave. The USA has managed to dominate the world. But despite being founded on the principles of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, there is an atrocious secret that threatens to engulf many people in this country and that is the extraordinary formation of the US prison system by racial chattel logic.
*Proceeds from the sale of the book go towards HOTT’s programs and services.
