MERIT Graduation October 2025

On October 21, 2025, the MERIT movement once again made history inside the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The latest class of MERIT graduates completed the 120-hour Mentorship • Education • Rehabilitation • Integrated • Training program — a journey of self-development, brotherhood, and spiritual leadership.

Throughout six transformative weeks, these participants engaged deeply in theological study, mentorship principles, and character-building exercises designed to strengthen their minds and purify their intentions. As certified MERIT Muslim Coordinators, they now return to their respective units equipped to lead by example — serving as mentors, educators, and unifiers within their communities.

The ceremony was a moment of pride and reflection — a reminder that faith, structure, and sincerity can rebuild any life from within. Each graduate carries forward the mission and message of MERIT: that leadership begins with personal reform, and that true success is rooted in service.

Congratulations to the October 2025 MERIT Class.
