Think Outside the Cell with Sheila Rule

SHEILA RULE is the founder of the Think Outside the Cell Foundation. Its mission is to support the incarcerated, the formerly incarcerated and their loved ones in honoring their personal power and achieving their full potential.

The foundation’s publishing arm, Resilience Multimedia, has received grants from the Ford Foundation for two projects: three anthologies featuring real-life stories by the incarcerated, the formerly incarcerated and their families, and a national symposium on issues faced by this population, to be held on September 24, 2011. Resilience’s first book was the nationally distributed and well-received self-help book, Think Outside the Cell: An Entrepreneur’s Guide for the Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated,” by Joseph Robinson, Sheila’s husband, who has been incarcerated for 20 years.
