Fox News Channel 29 in San Antonio, TX aired 2 news reports featuring the work of the Bridges to Life Restorative Justice Program.
Bridges To Life is a faith-based nonprofit 501©(3) corporation founded in November 1998, with a primary mission to reduce crime by reducing the recidivism rate of released inmates. Bridges To Life brings together victims and inmates face to face to help the inmates understand how crime affects others and to empower crime victims by telling their stories of victimization. By participating in face-to-face sessions inside the prison, both victims and offenders participate in a restorative justice process.
The spiritual mission of Bridges To Life is to minister to victims of crime and to inmates to show them the transforming power of Gods love and forgiveness. The healing process for wounded spirits must include a spiritual dimension. Bridges To Life welcomes inmates and volunteers of all faiths and religions.
