Must Read!


I was having coffee with one of our volunteers today and we began to discuss prison culture and I mentioned that this is a must read book. "Understanding Prison Culture Inside and Out" by Lennie Spitale. I would recommend anyone who is involved in prison ministry or has an interest in this realm of ministry to read this book. The insight is invaluable and it will answer many questions, even those that you don't even know you have yet.

I wanted to share this article with you that takes a look at the impact of families that experience the devastation of incarceration. This is one of the reasons that our Christmas Child project is so important to the children of the inmates that we serve.
