Men Of Vision Think Tank is a justice-reform think tank whose advisory board operates from inside the California Correctional Training Facility. Its chairman, parliamentarian, sergeant-at-arms, and a policy analyst serving twenty-to-life draft policy from their cells. The mission is to route the lived expertise of people inside corrections into evidence-based reform — the population most federal reentry programs are written about but almost never with. Jaslyn Fields is the design lead on the outside. She ran one search, opened two BJA Second Chance Act pipelines totaling $2 million, and completed three rounds of triage on each. Then she came back and pasted team biographies into Granted’s chat — Sam Crawford, Raymond Garland, Steven Fields, DeAndre Vance, Kevin Brennan — co-founders whose credentials Granted then framed for a federal reviewer who has never read a bio written from inside. By the end of that session the Community-Based Reentry proposal had exported to DOCX. She came back a day later and wrote: "Go ahead and apply for the grant." She is the reason Granted is building a structured team-member surface for proposals whose leadership lives behind a wall.
It is never too late to change.
