  It's Erica DeLong and Prison Alliance is not only an organization that helps here locally,
• 0:05
  but all over the world. And we have CEO Tim Currington to give
• 0:09
  us a scoop. What is Prison Alliance hi Erica. Prison Alliance ministers two
• 0:15
  inmates across the country and around the world and leads them through a discipleship program
• 0:23
  that impacts their lives, helps them to make the difference. We believe that
• 0:27
  inmates deserve a second chance, and all of us are just one decision away
• 0:32
  from making the same mistakes that these men and women have made. And so
• 0:36
  our ministry comes alongside of inmates who are behind bars and helps to encourage them
• 0:43
  and lead them forward in making those changes that they need. Because we know
• 0:48
  ninety five percent of all incarcerated people will be released back into our society,
• 0:55
  and we want to be able to give them the tools that they need to
• 0:58
  come back and to make a difference community after their incarceration. Now, how
• 1:03
  can people get involved right here in the Raleigh area September twenty six or before
• 1:07
  that date, So you can go to our website Prison Alliance dot org and
