Breaking Cycles

“For me, having a husband that’s incarcerated, it’s like we’re incarcerated too.”

Shamika Wilson is expressing the experience of many who have a family member behind bars.  In a short video produced by Al-Jazeera, Wilson and several other people who have had their families separated by incarceration express the challenges—financial, emotional, and even physical—of having a spouse, a sibling, or a parent in prison.

Standing for the Dignity of Prisoners

An 1865 engraving of the Baltimore City Jail. Maryland Governor Larry Hogan recently closed the prison for its unsanitary conditions. (Click to enlarge.)

The Baltimore City Detention Facility has a well-earned reputation for being one of the worst jails in the United States.

A Biblical View of Justice

Saul Green was laid off after 3 ½ years at a job when employers found past criminal charges. Today, he remains unemployed, despite wanting to work and having applied for over 125 jobs over the past 18 months. His unemployment is a collateral consequence of petty crimes that he committed over 15 years ago.

Seeing the Face of God in Prisoners

It’s altogether too easy for those of us with little or no connection to prison to dismiss and ignore the men and women behind bars.  Content to live our own lives, we are quick to conclude that the incarcerated “got what they had coming to them,” and to write them off as inconsequential.
