Prayer Team

2nd Chance Indiana envisions having, in each of the Hoosier state's 92 counties, at least one church's prayer group actively praying for those incarcerated in our state's prisons and jails as well as for the work of 2nd Chance Indiana and that of our partners. We'll provide your church's prayer group leader with names of those who need to be lifted up in prayer, including those who are preparing to reenter the outside world as well as some who are facing multiple years of incarceration and others who don't expext to ever again set foot outside the walls of the correctional facility.

Letter Writers

We’ll connect you via the mail to an inmate who has asked for somebody to write to him or her. We’ll give you the guidelines that will help you to be comfortable corresponding with the inmate. No face-to-face or telephone contact is necessary unless you decide to call or visit.

Mentors

Go inside the corrections facility to walk along side your mentee as he or she completes a job preparation training course, develops an understanding of his or her true value as a human being, and learns how to successfully transition into the workplace culture. Then, continue to provide encouragement and guidance for a minimum of 90 days following their release from incarceration. Be there for friendship, advice, emotional (not financial) support, encouragement, and contacts as your mentee reconnects with his or her family or finds housing elsewhere, gets a job, and begins the process of rebuilding his or her life.
