Give Hope to Prison Inmates
In the U.S., nearly 2 million adults and youth crowd our prisons and jails. Every year, about 30 percent of them are released after serving an average of three to five years. About two-thirds of ex-convicts re-offend and return to jail within three years. But research shows that inmates who make decisions for Christ, and then are released, are 50 percent less likely to end up in jail again.
This fiscal year, IBS-U.S. will help reach 123,000 men, women and young people incarcerated in American prisons and detention centers with the life-giving message of Christ's love and forgiveness.
