Tajfel (1979) Social identity is a person's sense of who they are based on their group
membership(s).
THEORY OF PLANNED BEHAVIOR
Ajzen (1991) Perceived behavioral control is expected to moderate the effect of
intention on behavior, such that a favorable intention produces the behavior only when
perceived behavioral control is strong.
4. 1440 LIFESTYLE IS AN OPPORTUNITY
The opportunity to ‘build upon
new, noncriminal behaviors in
high-risk situations and self-
efficacy for beliefs that support
reform.”
The freedom of a front door key
supports reintergration not anti-
social isolation.

PREACHABLE PRINCIPLES
8. 1440 LIFESTYLE IS A PROCESS
The 2 Unit dwelling offers
freedom and privacy. Individuals
demonstrating a sincere desire
to separate from their past will
be supported holistically.

“A lot of guys that have said that they don’t want to go to the halfway

programs.”
“When prisoners would rather escape and face further jail time than
complete their stints in what are designed to be peaceful,
rehabilitative facilities, we ought to take the hint.”
