Unlock Resilience with Matte Refic
I’m Matte Refic—artist, educator, performer, and researcher. After 8 years working inside ADX Florence, the world’s most secure prison, I discovered something profound: the real prison is within the mind. Now, I help others break out.
Begin your plan to escape your own mind now!

For 8 years, I served as the creative arts and self-expression instructor inside ADX Florence—not to guard or punish, but to connect, teach, and witness transformation.
I led participatory art projects, taught drawing, and listened to stories from those facing the harshest conditions imaginable. What I saw wasn’t just incarceration—it was the architecture of the human mind under pressure. And what I realized was this: most of us are living in prisons we’ve built ourselves.
