Approximately 77 million Americans, or 1 in every 3 adults, have a criminal record, and around 2.7 million children have at least one parent in prison. These numbers underscore the fact that support for reentry into society is critical.
The Jack Brewer Foundation’s Faith & Fatherhood program provides incarcerated fathers and father figures the opportunity to take a new path forward and be the men God has called them to be.
Many men in our program are serving life sentences. We offer them hope and the benefits of our program by encouraging the cultivation of identity and purpose, preparing them for the possibility of reentry, and connecting them with their children and families. All in Jesus name.
