The EMA Network is a faith-based platform created by Alumni of GEO’s SBCRF. Our mission is to empower and equip soon to be returning citizens with skills and training in the arts of telecommunications. We believe that every individual, regardless of their past, deserves a chance to rebuild their life and contribute positively to society.

Our goal at The EMA Network is to provide the tools and training necessary for inmates to develop their talents and create original content that can be exhibited on our platform. Through the power of storytelling and artistic expression, inmates can inspire and uplift others, while also giving back to the community. We believe that by showcasing the creativity and resilience of inmates, we can challenge stereotypes and promote rehabilitation and redemption.

To ensure accessibility, The EMA Network will make this original content available to all inmates around the nation through the Pando App, which is available for free on inmate tablet devices. In the future, we plan to launch our own EMA App, expanding our reach and impact even further.

Our vision is to showcase their talent, resilience, and potential to inspire others and create a lasting legacy that benefits generations to come, where society as a whole is the ultimate winner.

To fulfill our mission, The EMA Network will seek a parnertship with GEO Group to utilize their Second Chance Centers as studios for the creation of original content by its residents. These centers provide a safe and supportive environment for inmates to explore their artistic passions and hone their skills.

At GEO’s Second Chance Centers, The EMA Network will provide expert instructors in various areas such as app development, music production, podcast development, videocast development, graphic design, animation, marketing development, brand design, and script/print development. Our aim is to equip inmates with practical skills and knowledge that will not only enhance their creative abilities but also increase their chances of successful reintegration into society.
