The first time I (Nancy) entered Minnesota Correctional Facility–Shakopee women’s prison as a volunteer, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But the women behind bars looked just like the ones I see in the mall or the grocery store. I quickly learned that these women have the same hopes and dreams, the same concerns about their kids, and the same struggles and insecurities as anyone else.
Prisoners are created in the image of God. They have made bad choices and need someone who cares about them and can encourage them.
