According to CAPA, 75 percent of inmates who will be released will be re-incarcerated. Contributing to that high percentage is a lack of resources for prisoners to transition back into the mainstream of society.
“The event is designed to inspire, inform and ignite fellow leaders and believers, especially those not presently involved in any kind of prisoner ministry,” says Carol Davis, executive director of the Mission of Grace Foundation and a member of Valley Hi Covenant Church in Sacramento. The foundation is participating in the conference.
