OUR STORY

The StoneCatchers Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization born from the transformative journey of our founder, Tony. Before his incarceration in 2019, Tony had no direct exposure to the criminal justice system. However, his firsthand experiences within it revealed the profound potential of education to inspire hope and transform lives. While serving his sentence, Tony has tutored his fellow inmates pursuing GEDs and higher education and listened to their personal stories, which continues to deepen his understanding of the system's challenges. These moments sparked a vision for a society that empowers incarcerated individuals through knowledge and opportunity. In 2021, this vision became a reality with the founding of The StoneCatchers Society. Since then, our initiatives have supported hundreds of incarcerated individuals, equipping them with educational opportunities that foster growth, resilience, and a brighter future. Tony’s journey exemplifies the unwavering commitment to creating positive change – a value that continues to drive our mission today.
