INSPIRING HOPE THROUGH TRANSFORMATION
“You walk out of prison, and you walk into a second prison.” —Jesse
Jesse was accepted to Regent University School of Law in Virginia. Because he lived in Iowa, he would need an out-of-state transfer. He called his parole officer to share the news of his acceptance and request the transfer.
"You'll never go to law school," she replied and denied his request.
Jesse was stunned and asked why. At this point, Jesse says, she began screaming at him. She told him that her sister had tried to get into law school and was not accepted. To Jesse, her angry comparison revealed a mindset that would only become more vivid as the years went by: "You're them, and we're us. You don't get to do things like this."
Men and women in prison are looking for hope. And nothing provides hope like the living Word of God. The demand for Bibles and Christian content is at an all-time high. Will you help us meet the need? Please give generously today.
