Our Communities - Our Responsibility
Prison Outreach Inc is on the front line of this movement, but we cannot do it alone. We know that by investing in the life of a broken person, we get to witness the greatness of a restored life. Anyone can effect change - especially when giving of their time and from their heart.
Industry -vs- Individuals
Our criminal justice system will never improve because the prison industry is a multi-billion-dollar-a-year business. Therefore, our communities must accept responsibility for taking action to stay safe and hold our citizens accountable.
