Effective Compassion: Belief in rehabilitation - S3.E1

01/22/22 • 27 min

The U.S. prison system began with the best intentions. Reform was its top priority. That resolve eroded over time, and now America imprisons more people per capita than any country in the world. And people who end up in prison almost always come out worse off than they were before. The one bright spot in an otherwise hopeless situation: Christians who go behind bars to share the power of the gospel and the hope of new life.
