Statistics
show there are 2.3 million Americans in prison. This year
alone, more than 600,000 of them will be released back to
our communities. And within three years, two-thirds of them
will be arrested for new crimes against new victims.
The fastest-growing prison population in the United States
is women. Yet, resources and services for females are not
growing at the same rate. These numbers are a call to prayer.
Each number reflects a person, life, and story. Every number
has behind it a past, and in front of it, a future. Our prayers
and our obedient actions call upon an Almighty God to shape
that future in accordance with His will.
