Greetings!
What you see here (photo, right) is the workbook used in Bridges To Life's Self-Study program. This format was created when the pandemic began in 2020 and our volunteers were temporarily restricted from entering prisons. Along with reading our curriculum book, Restoring Peace, inmate participants complete weekly assignments in the Self-Study Guide, which is then evaluated for completion according to
BTL's strict guidelines.
If you've ever wondered what it's really like to be in prison and what BTL means to the offenders, the notes written by one participant on the cover of this Self-Study Guide will tell you. Through BTL, he experienced:
...Remembrance where most have been forgotten
...Morality where immorality is stored
...A time of love and understanding to those who have never known such
...The freedom to be who I was intended to be
...Kindness where rudeness and ugliness live
...Love in a place where hurt, anger and humiliation are rulers
...Hope in a very dark place
As we anticipate over 7,500 graduates from our program this year, it is our greatest intention that all participants will experience Kindness, Love, and Hope in a very dark place through Bridges To Life.
Gratefully,
John Sage, Founder & CEO
Jim Buffington, COO
