RETURNING CITIZENS

5/27/2014

98% of those who are incarcerated will return to live in our community. How do we want them to return............broken and bitter or healed and whole? We have the opportunity to make a difference. Reach out to someone who has just returned from prison. Invite them for a cup of coffee. Get to know them. You may discover that just because they have done a bad thing doesn't make them a bad person. You may the one person that they learn to trust. You may have just the helping hand that they need in order to make a positive change and begin making good choices for their life.
