The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound... Isaiah 61:1

Recidivism
95% of prisoners will be released from prison of which 67% will reenter the Prison system. A national survey has shown between the years of 2012-2017 that ex prisoners who where able to maintain meaningful contact with society & connect with sincere people were less likely to return to a life of crime, drugs & other negative behavior.
Rehabilitate Through Christ
Studies have shown that 40% of Prisoners have little to no knowledge on how to read the Bible.
We want to change that by outreaching to the prisoners, letting them know that someone cares, they are not alone and Jesus can redeem them from all their poor choices.
