BIO PROGRAM


​FTIO's first and most popular program has gained attention nationwide. The incarcerated population is generally left voiceless. The BIO Program has given incarcerated men and women the opportunity to tell their stories and become unmuted. These stories & letters are shared on this website and on all FTIO social media platforms. We have over 6000 followers and our following is growing rapidly. 
     We encourage all to participate!
