We want to be a part of the solution

Incarceration touches all of us. In the U.S., some 6.6 million people live under supervision of adult correctional authorities (in prison, in jail, on probation, or on parole). Nearly 2.2 million men and women are behind bars. The annual cost to incarcerate and re-incarcerate this many people is more than $80 billion. Beyond the price tag, soaring levels of incarceration and recidivism take a toll on communities and families. Amongst those paying the greatest price of crime and incarceration are our Correctional Officers. Too many are experiencing broken relationships, PTSD, depression, addictions and instability—and we must do better. We can’t afford not to.

We seek to share the real, living hope of the Gospel with people who long for its power to make them new.
