People in prison are still people, made in the image and likeness of God. No matter what someone has done, they deserve the opportunity to hear the Word of God and find the Truth of the message of Christ.

Organizations to Support
Kolbe Ministry
Kolbe Prison Ministries is a Catholic organization that ministers to incarcerated men and women. Their goal is to share the love of God with the imprisoned. Dallas Kolbe Ministries is a non-parish based organization that is in good standing with the Diocese of Dallas.
Home for Hounds
The City of Grand Prairie Animal Services lends dogs to the Dallas County Jail. Inmates can train the dogs to learn employable skills, the dogs can become more familiar with humans so they are more adoptable and it keeps animals out of the shelter to prevent them from being Euthanized! You can donate large crates, toys, training treats, crate beds or money.
Epicenter
Epicenter is a nonprofit dedicated to rebuilding Texas families with children given extreme sentences in adult prisons (known as “Second Lookers”). Their goal for the 2021 Texas Legislature is to pass the Second Look bill, which would grant Second Lookers parole review at 20 years, or half of their sentence, whichever is shorter. Without this legislation, many Second Lookers won’t have their cases looked at again until they’ve served 40 years. They believe children are more than their worst mistake.
