One Parish One Prisoner:  “We need a new Underground Railway today…a moral and spiritual revolution is required of us now.” — Michelle Alexander, The New Jim Crow

What if your congregation could help dismantle mass incarceration — simply by walking with one person returning home from prison? In this guest presentation, Candice Baughman, a formerly incarcerated person, will discuss the work of “One Parish One Prison”, an organization that equips congregations and community groups of every size — traditional, progressive, interfaith, or secular-leaning — to build meaningful, supportive pre-release relationships with an incarcerated person returning to their neighborhood. She will share her story of incarceration and the value of “One Parish One Prison” in helping her re-enter her community after her release from prison.
