Ascendivism began as a means to balance the focus on recidivism in the legal system. Recidivisim has been monitored, tracked and studied for years while its antonym, ascendivism has only recently been defined and codified.
Who are the ascendivists? They are people like Robert Maupin Beck author of "Iceberg Slim" and other novels. Others include Stanley "Tookie" Williams, Nick Ashford, R. Dwayne Betts, Chef Jeff Henderson, Don King, Vickie Stringer, Malcolm X, Charles Dutton, Judge Greg Mathis, Robert Downey Jr. and others who had an incarceration experience and rose above it.
