Never Too Late to Serve

One of the most endearing stories Chuck Colson shared is found in his book Loving God. He wrote of Myrtie Howell—a 91 year-old woman he met in an “old folks’ home” in Georgia.

Myrtie was born poor, had only one year of schooling, and was married at age 17.

Insight from Prisoners Who Write

By bringing the words of incarcerated writers directly to the general public through her article, Jones hopes to provide people with a better understanding of what goes on behind bars from raw, firsthand accounts. The excerpted letters cover a range of issues and perspectives, and give readers an inside look at what everyday life is like for prisoners.
