Welcome to (LCSS) Linear Consulting and Support Services. We are so excited that you are visiting us here. We hope that you find the support that you need in order to be granted parole and or become a better YOU.
The shared vision of Lashun and Chandra Taylor is born from their deeply held beliefs that all of God's children have the capacity to change!! The core vision of LCSS (Linear Consulting and Support Services) is to facilitate the personal transformation of a forgotten population. LCSS has developed correspondence based programming designed to help our clients develop “INSIGHT” into -not only- there life crimes, but the criminal and addictive thinking patterns they developed during and prior to adolescence; which gave birth to the criminal lifestyle that formed the foundation of the crimes they committed to get to prison. LSCC also believes our program and this process can help our clients with the development of “EMPATHY," “REMORSE" and their sincere calling to make “AMENDS”. LINEAR believes these components are essential to true and lasting transformation. Finally, our founding and most fundamental organizing principle is based on “RESTORATIVE JUSTICE." This is the principal of healing. It is our goal to promote “HEALING and RESTORATION” between the client(offender), the community and the victim(s)(survivors).
LCSS will walk with you on your readiness journey to be found 'suitable' at your (BPH) Board of Parole Hearing. We'll support you & your family in preparing a personal portfolio that is reflective of your "best self." Your portfolio will consist of the growth made as you moved through our comprehensive Maslow program
