 Program brings ‘structure and purpose’ to inmates’ lives https://theleaven.org/program-brings-structure-and-purpose-to-inmates-lives/  Program brings ‘structure and purpose’ to inmates’ lives October 19, 20181 Commentby Marc & Julie Anderson Since 2014, Father Matthew Habiger, OSB, has served as spiritual director and coordinator of the Oblates in Prison program.

2.3 million people in the U.S. are affected by incarceration each year, the most unchurched population in our country. We are on a mission to change that.

 The most unchurched population in the U.S. 2.3 million people in the U.S. are affected by incarceration each year, the most unchurched population in our country. We are on a mission to change that. We will stop at nothing to ensure every inmate in the U.S. has direct and personal access to the Gospel. We want to help them grow their faith, heal trauma and emotional wounds, break addictions and cycles, and allow every person behind bars to step into their calling as sons and daughters of the Most High. It’s a simple fact that less than 15% of inmates are serving life sentences, and up to as many as 90% of all incarcerated individuals will be released back to society at some point. 75% of those released will return to prison within three years. God Behind Bars addresses this drastic recidivism problem with a unique approach that focuses on the spiritual, physical, and relational needs of inmates and their families. https://www.godbehindbars.com/about Hope Behind Bars https://youtu.b...
