When I was in prison, you
visited me
Representing Heartbound Ministries, the Reverend
Big James Henderson visits and gives motivational
speeches to prisoners in the Georgia Department
of Corrections. His upcoming schedule includes;
Sumter County Correctional Institution in Americus,
Baldwin State Prison in Hardwick, Ware State Prison
and Ware State Prison Annex in Waycross, the Augusta
and Macon Youth Development Centers, the Sandersville
Regional Youth Development Center, and Hancock
State Prison in Sparta.
Due to budget cuts, Georgia's mostly part-time
prison chaplains are severely limited in their
capacity to make a meaningful difference. Heartbound
Ministries has made a notable effort to reach
out to inmates that are searching to participate
in faith-based programs. A study by Barna Research
revealed that around 75% of all prisoners will
return to prison, but a significant decrease
of around 15% is shown for prisoners that study
the Word of God.
