Foundation from The Baton Rouge Advocate Follow this hyperlink to view article: http://tinyurl.com/cmqohz2 Page 2 December 2014 Louisiana Prison Chapel Foundation Building Hope Besides building chapels in Louisiana prisons, the Louisiana Chapel Foundation plays another vital role in the state’s correction system – we are a vital liaison with the faith community, ensuring that they feel connected to the facilities in which they serve. The foundation helps make them more effective in their ministry. The Chapel Foundation also helps spread the good news about how moral rehabilitation or restoration has changed the way Louisiana incarcerates people. Many times, the foundation lends an understanding ear to families of incarcerated individuals. Those family members are usually innocent bystanders who have been devastated and alienated by the crime of their loved one. They often need someone to understand their struggles and help them understand how the corrections system works and provide counsel on how to navigate it. Our yearly operating budget not only funds the oversight of chapel construction, but all the other important work described above. All of that costs approximately $65,000 a year. This covers one salaried employee, insurance, postage, printing, computer and software, professional services, website management and telecommunications. At the end of 2014, we will be $25,000 short of balancing our annual budget. The Foundation’s administrative costs are 10 percent of donations. Ninety percent of every dollar goes to building and furnishing chapels. In recent years, as we near the end of our scheduled building projects, we have found ourselves with a deficit. If you believe the work and ministry of the chapel foundation should continue and extend beyond the simple building of chapels, please consider helping us with a financial contribution. Our director, Cindy Mann, or any board member, would be happy to speak with you and answer your questions about the work of the foundation. Yes, I would like to support operations so we can continue to Build Hope.

Faith on the Farm: An Analysis of Angola Prison's Moral Rehabilitation Program Under the Establishment Clause "Moral people are not criminals. That's why moral rehabilitationis the only true rehabilitation." INTRODUCTION The numbers are alarming: The United States leads the world with the highest incarceration rate, with 756 out of every 100,000 people in jail.2 Louisiana leads the country in the same category with 858 of every 100,000 citizens behind bars.3 Even when the incarcerated are finally released, the chances are likely that they will return to prison at some point within the next three years.
