Other Prison-related Solution-providers... for Indianapolis, IN...

See CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES (Prison-related)  in the 'Wiki Encyclopedia of City Reaching'.

************

Some of us are just using this page temporarily for notes as our specific little collection of faith-based prison-related organizations are meeting together for prayer and discussion about some innovative ways to maybe find new solutions not currently available.  Contact Dan Gushee for more details about this group dialog at the cafe.

And here's a sample of how one concept adds to the value of everyone wanting to be a solution re ex-offenders re-entering society... by (churches) providing a care team...

 Here's an aggregated set of RSS-feeds from some of our favorite sites...

(eg. now, it's only Allison's blogsite).... (but the rest of you who have fresh content, let us know your RSS feed address)...
