Several months of dedication culminated in an important achievement for these men, who recently graduated from the Thinking for a Change (T4C) program.

Created by the National Institute of Corrections, T4C is a high-level cognitive behavioral program that utilizes role playing to address attitude, behavior, family, friends and criminogenic thinking. Throughout the class, participants practice applying these skills learned with real-life scenarios. Moving forward, they can be confident that they have the tools to make positive choices.

Thank you to the peer and staff facilitators, and congratulations to these men...Read more

Last month, the Kairos Inside Prison Ministry held an event at the Nebraska State Penitentiary. Kairos Inside is a Christian ministry whose mission is to develop a Christian community inside prisons. Their goal is to address the spiritual needs of incarcerated men, women, youth, AND their families.

The Kairos Inside program is held for three and a half days and is led by Kairos volunteers. This event includes a series of talks, discussions and chapel meditations. For many participants, the event creates the desire to become a Christian and for others the desire to continue their spiritual growth.

Thank you to all...Read more
