A program spearheaded by a young Virgin Islands entrepreneur has inspired renewed hope for incarcerated individuals seeking a second chance. Kyle Sexius, CEO and owner of Credible Source Consulting Firm, aims to transform lives through the Credit to Inmates Program, designed to equip inmates with financial literacy skills and the tools to rebuild their futures. While his groundbreaking program takes root in the territory’s correctional facilities, Mr. Sexius is also introducing his highly anticipated Wealth Building Gala to St. Croix on December 8, expanding his mission to uplift communities through financial empowerment.
The Credit to Inmates Program addresses a critical need for meaningful rehabilitation by teaching inmates how to build credit, manage finances, and start businesses once they re-enter society, Mr. Sexius said. Recognizing the challenges felons face in securing employment, he emphasized the importance of financial independence to break the cycle of crime and incarceration. “If they can’t make enough to make an honest living, they may feel forced to make a dishonest one,” Mr. Sexius told the Consortium.
