Where Did Our Prisoners Come From
Have you ever stopped to think about where the majority of our prisoners come from? Most of them have been casted away by all the rest of us. Yes, there are those that are just criminals and nothing else. But I’m talking about their origin, what it is that most of them have in common. Take a look at these staggering statistics. Over ninety per cent of them suffered child abuse and abandonment. I heard a story once that a particular card company gave cards to the prisoners to give to there moms on mothers day. Well, it was such a hit that the same company decided to do it again on fathers day. When the request went out to the prisoner as to how many would like a card to send to their dads, to the companies surprise, they didn’t receive one request for cards to send to fathers. This story speaks for itself. All in all, hurt plus alone, plus angry equals to locked up most of the time.

Our prisons are full of hurting young men and women. Many of them are there because they simply reproduced what was sown into there own lives.
