Description:

As the prison population in the United States increases by more than 1,000 inmates each week, prison ministry programs must have a working blueprint for dealing with the shame, humiliation, hate, and loneliness of incarceration at both the adult correctional and juvenile detention/probation levels. This book demonstrates how a ministry can address oppression and bring incarcerated individuals into the community of Christ.
