  • Did you know that is a net increase of over 100,000 people just since the beginning of 2007?
  • Did you know there is now one prisoner for every ninety-nine adults in the general population of the US?
  • Did you know that the cost of incarceration in the US has now reached $49 billion? That's $49,000,000,000!

"Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them ..." ~Hebrews 13:3
