Anthony, the Founder of Felons Unchained, was incarcerated in two different state Penitentiary, New York State & Pennsylvania State. Turning his life around brought him the idea to help others to overcome and learn from their own past. On September 26th, 2016 Felons Unchained was born.

Our goal is to establish numerous Limited Liability Corporations (LLC’s), Across the United States.
