As a daughter of an inmate that has been incarcerated for 28 years and counting, I believe this is the best thing Ive heard ! Felons are people, they made a mistake and it cost them their freedom. If people actually got caught in what they engage in, then the prisons would be more over crowded than they are now.
Thank God for programs like this. My mother is 64yrs old, being released w/in the year and with being her age and her "crime", it will be very hard for her to get employment. One stipulation of release from a penial institution is to obtain employment upon release or w/in 2 weeks, which is very difficult for certain crimes and bearing their age. This gives my family hope that when she comes home, she will have hope of "getting" a job that she already has training in and can be productive in soceity.
May God bless your efforts in employing the "unemployable" so to speak and giving them a "new" chance at life.
