2. Here is a story of a person who was arrested for DUI a few years ago.
Whenever I think about him, I feel the sting and pain that he must have
endured and all that was due to a few drinks he’d have with his newly-wed
bride. Today, Darclee Warshoff’s mugshot blog series talks about a program
that was conceptualized by a local Pastor to assist those convicted of a crime
or offence and have served their time in jail - a story that is different to none.
3. Darclee Warshoff‘s mugshot blog takes you on a journey into the life
of a man less known to many, but a person who took his task
seriously and made all efforts to help offenders make amendments
and reinstate their image by choosing the righteous path – a path
less trudged by many. When you get out of jail, you would not get
out with much to your credit – all the toil and labor to earn a decent
reputable status in society is washed out in an instant. With just a
bus ticket and a little cash to spare, it would be long before several
other offenders are back in jail, and this local pastor took in his
stride to help change all of that.
4. As human beings, we make errors
and bad judgment. Most people
end up in prison because of a bad
decision made in a split second. It
is this decision that costs them
years of their life. That said,
aren’t human beings designed to
make errors, but what if those
errors cost a precious life? This
gets the pastor to think at times,
but then, we all deserve a second
chance.
5. The pastor is launching a unique after-prison recovery
program that is faith-based and diverts the offender away
from addiction. It looks at aspects of recovery after spending
prison time. The program is specially designed to let people
know that there is life after jail time and that there are many
ways to bounce back on track and reinstate their lost
reputation. This has not been easy but the mere thought of
being able to assist such people to get their lives back together
after incarceration or a criminal charge is a rehabilitating
thought in itself.
6. The recovery program introduce classroom sessions wherein
convicts who have served their time in jail get together and
dive into aspects of best ways to recover after humiliation.
Besides the daily classes, weekly drug tests, and unannounced
police visits are included. The program helps in job assistance
and the program cost is deducted from their wages. There are
many addiction-relief counseling programs that are more
deep-rooted to tackling the cause rather than offering
senseless solutions.
