….I was in prison, and ye came unto me. (Matthew 25:26)

The prison system is the only “business” that succeeds by its failure. 

Prison populations grow larger and larger.  Often people come out of prison worse than when they went in. 
Many commit more crimes, return to prison, and get stuck in the cycle of recidivism: the “revolving door”
of crime, prison, and release.

 The answer to this is not more prisons.  It is not locking up people and “throwing away the key.” 
The answer is the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the demonstration of power!

One of the main targets of Christ’s ministry was to the prisoners:

 “...To open blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison,
and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.” (Isaiah  42:7)

 As Jesus hung upon the cross He continued His ministry to the prisoner, Luke 23:32-43. 
The result, a convicted criminal experienced God’s love, grace and forgiveness.
