Prison Fellowship Lauds Trump for Helping Americans With Criminal Records Reach Their God-Given Potential
(Worthy News) – Christian ministry Prison Fellowship has praised President Donald Trump for designating April 2018 “Second Chance Month.” A little more than a week ago, the group’s CEO had expressed concerns over Trump’s plan to impose the death penalty on drug traffickers when it is appropriate to do so under current law.
James Ackerman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the ministry, which serves prisoners, former prisoners and their families, called it a “bold move,” saying it will help Prison Fellowship and more than 135 organizations “fight for those who have paid their debt to society.”
“The President is right to stand up for those who continue to face tens of thousands of barriers to education, jobs, housing and the things they need to lead a full and productive life,” he said in a statement. “We are fighting for those 65 million Americans with criminal records—one in four adults—who wish to regain their dignity and make important contributions to society.” [ Source: Christian Post (Read More…) ]
