We believe that no life is beyond the reach of God's power, and we envision a future in which countless prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families are redeemed, restored, and reconciled through the love and truth of Jesus Christ. To that end, we seek to prepare Christian inmates to become leaders of their families, communities, and churches once they are released back into the community. We also endeavor to support prisoners' families, helping them become reconciled to God and one another through the power of the Gospel and supported by transformative relationships with local churches.
COPING WITH INCARCERATION
The incarceration of a loved one can be overwhelming. Where do you turn for help? These resources will help you know what to expect after someone you care about has been arrested, and how to cope before, during, and after their sentence.
Need something to encourage and support an incarcerated loved one? Look here for a collection of books, family connection guides, and Christian lifestyle resources specifically tailored to those doing time.
Children with a loved one in prison too often end up “doing time” for someone else's mistake. These resources can help foster important conversations, while providing hope and understanding during difficult situations.
Two-thirds of released prisoners will be arrested again within three years. These resources will help you know what to expect when a friend or family member returns to society, and how you can help maximize their chances for success.
Does your family need help dealing with the incarceration of a loved one? Use the map below to locate organizations in your state that serve families with an adult member behind bars.
