Update on Project UFL!

We are really pleased to announce that we have found a venue for our meetings under the UFL Project - our non-profit brother to Unlocked For Life. These will be meetings for guys - survivors from doing time - that have just got out after being locked up in jail or prison for some time or that keep getting locked up because they don't have a support system that will pull them into the main stream of society and give them the resources and relations needed. This Saturday is the

Tune in to UFL!

I'm excited to announce that on Valentine's Day, Unlocked For Life will be featured on LA Talk Radio's show called "Recovery Nation" which runs every Sunday from 6 until 8pm. I will be on the air in the latter half of the show, and am being interviewed by John Tomkinson, the awesome talk radio show host.

Here are links to four such articles … keep up the good news, NY Times! 2

Thought for the Day

I was sent this picture recently by a friend, and it resonated with me. If you have read my background story on my site, or know me personally, it will be pretty obvious why! My life today is so far from the one I was living and the one people thought I would continue to live. If I can do it, you can too. Stop living in the past, and use it to build a brighter, better future for you, your loved ones, and anyone you come into contact with. No matter how dark your past, you can

Welcome to Unlocked For Life

There is a massive problem in our society with re-entry of former prisoners. Sources vary in their statistics, but the last ones I saw estimated that at least 70% of offenders return to jail or prison within 1-2 years of release. I, Dan Sanfellipo, was one such repeat inmate. I spent decades in incarceration whether it be jail, prison, or youth detention. In 2011 I made the conscious decision to kick the habit of returning to jail. I made a series of changes to my attitude, m
