Da’cipher 360

What a day we had! I am just taking it all in and enjoying the feelings of accomplishment. Da’Cipher 360 hosted our second annual Wallace Unit Reunion and the house was filled with love, laughter and learning. Thank you to my wife, Naijean Bernard, Kaysia Henry, and Sha Williams for assistance with the food and decorations. More photos to come. Thank you to the organizations that supported this endeavor: Libal & The Sentencing Project & our fiscal sponsee the Texas After Violence Project and The Legal Defense Fund Davis-Bell Be Told Reimagined

We wish to express our gratitude to the Abolition Advocacy Project for their invaluable work on educating the students of Georgetown University Law School about the viability of a world without prisons and punishment as the all-in-all solution to our complex social problems.

Thank you for inviting me to be a part of this vision and accepting my writings in the Abolition Law and Review Journal 1.2, 2027.

Thank you to Mari Latibashvili, Freedom Gobel and Brittany Lovely for your outstanding leadership and planning.

Another great evening of friends and fellowship. Thank you for supporting my creativity and helping to amplify my voice.

Remembering someone gone too early is the duty of those who had the privilege to love them. Please join me in my continuing affection for Tomeka Hayes and all that she stood for in life, that now must be carried by us in her death.

Please consider giving to our cause:

"Da’Cipher 360 empowers individuals and families impacted by incarceration through peer support, political education, and collective action." "We envision a world beyond punishment, where impacted voices guide policy, reclaim power, and build systems rooted in care and justice."

We have to potential for so much good, but we cannot get there without the funding that is needed to break through the soil and begin to grow our identity over the landscape of service and organizing being done in the name of those who are system impacted.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Just as last year was ending, we, Da’Cipher 360 were beginning a new chapter. We decided to return, from out of the pages of our history, to yet, once again, exist to do right by the youth and their distressed mothers.

Da’Cipher 360 was born out of necessity and has returned for that same reason. The only difference between us then and us now is that in the past there was only one Brother Rob, and now there are more men who understand our community’s plight and have a desire to weigh in on this mission.

We don’t need everything to take the first step, we are alive and we have a will and that is enough!

When I left the Wallace Unit I made a promise to myself that I would live up to the image of the leader I felt I had risen to inside of the prison. It has been a long journey of 20+ years, but with great enthusiasm I can say today that I am that version of myself.
