INSPIRING HOPE THROUGH TRANSFORMATION
 
 
"I'm not guided by my thoughts anymore or my will. Rather, I'm guided by His."—William
 
 
 

It's May 30, 2018, and William Jones is going home. He has been incarcerated at the Carol S. Vance Unit in Richmond, Texas, for more than three years.


"I found out [I was going home] 15 days ago," he says. His prison chaplain brought him the news. "I hugged him, and we cried together. Two big, grown men standing there, crying together.”


William's parents, wife, and family wait for him outside the prison walls. "The fact that I'm not there to ... help them—it really lets me know how selfish I had been in my ways," William says. "The opportunity to get back out there—to get [the] second chance that God has given me … man! I'm without words. Speechless."
