Jail chaplains bring healing and hope
A letter to the editor in the Los Angeles Times:
It is often faith that gets people through the truly tough times. In times of incarceration, it is vital that people have access to those who represent their faith in whom they can find both redemption and guidance.
From our program, we learned that the cost to these chaplains, who were hopelessly overwhelmed and outnumbered by our massive jail population, was enormous. Still, they spoke with humility and gratitude about how these prisoners change their lives for the better too.
