Welcome to Chapter 1013
As a chapter of dedicated men we consistently demonstrate the joy of giving and our care for Michigan's communities. In our efforts to highlight the importance of accountability in societal structuring we extend compassionate aid every opportunity we get. This was evident in the gratitude expressed by Rebecca Limbaugh and the Scholars of Hope Ignites Detroit on July 16, 2025.
graduation
Kara Hope and Audrey Anderson
In an effort to demonstrate the rehabilitation, changed mindset, and individual progress of incarcerated persons, Chapter 1013 hosted State Representative Kara Hope and National Board Secretary Audrey Anderson on April 22, 2025.
The day was a festive acknowledgement of the men Graduating the various programs facilitated by the Chapter. Both Representative Hope and National Secretary Anderson were extremely impressed by the achievements, professionalism, and well organized planning displayed by the Chapter leaders as well as the graduating participants.
Representative Hope and her Assistant Angela were amazed by oratory skills and moving stories which we presented during the ceremony. Secretary Anderson touched the crowd with an inspirational prayer as both women encouraged the members to maintain focus and continue in their efforts of positively impacting the communities of Michigan.
This was a true showing of how beneficial incarcerated persons can be to society.
2nd Look
Chuck Warphehoski
Chapter 1013 started the year off with a forum geared towards gaining a better understanding of the efforts employed by Organizations who support prison reform. On January 23, 2025, Chuck Warphehoski, MI-CEMI Director of Programs, addressed a standing room only crowd regarding the current atmosphere surrounding 2nd Look Legislation in Michigan.
During his speech Chuck stressed the necessity of incarcerated persons becoming more actively involved in the process and employing their families to support legislative changes. Prior to taking the podium he was allowed to experience first hand the community efforts, charitable acts, and vast improvements made by the members of the NLA. He left the facility with a mindset of encouraging others to personally visit, that they too may view how clear the reality of rehabilitation is.
The Chapter's speakers as well as its community initiatives left a lasting impression that inspired Chuck himself.
Read his words, as they are evidence that this Chapter's efforts are needed in Michigan.
Breast cancer awareness
In honor of breast cancer awareness and all those who battle to overcome the disease, compassionate men of Chapter 1013 honored their courageous efforts. On October 24, 2024 we transformed our general membership meeting into an observance for every individual impacted by cancer. One hundred and twenty four men assembled to share their experience, enhance their knowledge, and offer support for all those who've encountered this obstacle.
During the month of October facilitators educated and galvanized participants to utilize their influence within the LCF community, which lead to an outpouring of considerate action. As these men understand empathy they displayed care by donating $1,148.00 to the American Cancer Society while encouraging the Inmate Benefit Fund to donate an additional $1,000.00 on behalf of LCF's population.
Beyond caring gestures, these men vowed to encourage their loved ones to get checked regularly and remain a supportive anchor in the battle to save lives. As a symbol of our dedication to caring for others we light our logo in the commemorative color of pink.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all, as you remain in our hearts.

Breast Cancer awareness
As this was a day to honor those battling with cancer, we applied great effort to do so in numerous ways. Utilizing the art of poetry was one. It provided insight while also challenging participants to identify and show compassion for the hardships others.
A Champion, By Charles A. Jackson -Bey, Jr. #600271
Today I'm forced to get in the ring of my reality and fight for life, fight for my life not to be defeated by antagonizing illness that can lead to death sooner than expected.
I have entered the first round of this battle clothes with the shadow of pain that none can understand unless you have been formally introduced into this pain yourself!
That doesn't discriminate against man, woman, or child blind, cripple, or crazy! Nor does it distinguish between race, religion, or ethnicity! It has no respect for the privacy of others, seeking whom it may try to devour.
Hoping to silently continuously still our power! I have been diagnose with an complicated situation, trying to find the words to tell those I love, but fear is real not knowing what the end will be.
So I'm exhausted as I enter this second round but I have to be strong! Although my body is fatigue from this treatment of blood being recycled through my views s a 10 cent plastic return.
Exposer to radiation has my hair going thin,
but I'm destine to win, as the bell rings
I return to my corner because I
refuse to be knocked out! So I
approach this final round as I
barely recognize myself from this
enemy who must be defeated!
Who has violated my body and doesn't
belong part of my life!
Chemo has took a toll on my life!
I'm down 20 pounds with a lost of
an appetite!
I'm ready to throw in the towel,
and accept defeat! But a voice
echoes in my mind from the man
who stands in front of me, and says
today you are a champion!
Because you have been cured!!!!
The Vile Name Behind the Innocent Tear
By Dominic Luebbert #958127
Destructive and murderous beyond all measure
I make victims and prisoners at my pleasure,
I hold no bias and torture whomever I please.
I easily fell giants to their knees.
My presence is loathed and unexplained.
I creep up slowly or barrage my victims in foray.
Your vain attempts to make me leave your side,
Will often lead to your own demise.
I once paid a visit to a little girl,
Her daddy always said "You're my whole world".
I destroyed her heart, lungs and limbs.
Basking in my victory, I watched the father cringe.
She screamed and wept through nights in pain.
He begged and pleaded for things to change
Reveling in the chaos of my prey,
Did I ever think to leave? I dare say nay.
This angel of a girl
Heart pure as gold,
With so much love,
Daddys' hand she'd hold.
She wiped his tears
After he prayed,
She grabbed his face
And gently said,
It's OK daddy,
"I'm not scared
God's coming soon,
I'm prepared"
He fought so hard
To hold his smile.
He begged and pleaded,
"Wait, please ... Just a little while.
'Tis cancer
that treats you harshly,"
He once told her so.
"I love you so much,
You'll never know."
I am wrath, void of remorse.
I leave you hopeless, with nay a single recourse.
I am uncontrollable, I am cellular division.
I am dark, luminous death, and I strike with precision.
Despite my power and incomparable might,
She smote with vigor, my futile plight.
With those few sweet words this little girl beat me.
She now lives her life with pride as a champion ...
at peace ....
and freely.
