Prevention: Straight Talk speakers have learned the power of choice. They candidly share their  experiences with poor choices and better choices, and examine the consequences of each. Their powerful stories motivate others to consider the likely outcomes of choices before making them.

Intervention: Straight Talk speakers offer hope to first-time offenders by presenting an opportunity to change their lives by changing their choices. First-time offenders thus experience a life interruption that provides an opportunity to weigh the consequences before continuing their destructive behaviors.

Deterrent: Straight Talk deters negative behaviors in at-risk individuals by instilling the desire for a better way of life. Through conversation, experience, and example, speakers introduce a different vantage point to those who are at-risk of choosing criminality as a lifestyle.

Adult Records


Straight Talk Program, Inc. provides ex-offenders with attorney-referral services, (pro bono and free expunging clinics) for the sealing of adult criminal arrest and convictions. This process can be time consuming but it is well worth the effort.


Juvenile Records


Straight Talk Program, Inc. helps juvenile offenders to get their arrest records sealed. This process prevents juvenile convictions from appearing on their arrest history.
