Heartbound Ministries
OUR MISSION
HeartBound Ministries is a non-profit outreach organization that provides programs and resources to meet the needs of the prison community -- inmates, their families, and correctional staff -- changing the culture from one of crime and incarceration to hope and restoration. HeartBound believes that a prison system can be more than just a place where people "serve time." We believe a prison system can be a place where lives are healed, transformed, and restored.
THE NEED
Georgia has one of the largest prison systems in the United States and the highest percentage of its population under correctional supervision than any place in the world. One in 13 Georgians is under some form of correctional supervision; the national average is 1 in 35. Ninety-five percent of offenders will return to our communities. We want them to return CHANGED.
