Mentorship: Equipping Global Workers with Steve Cochrane S5 EP#154

In this compelling episode, we dive deep into the heart of transformation and redemption with <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-sanders-jumpstart/'>Cary Sanders</a>, CEO of <a href='https://www.jumpstartvision.org/'>JumpStart</a>, an innovative prison ministry committed to breaking the cycles of crime and addiction. JumpStart's unique approach is not just about reforming individuals; it's about fundamentally changing their trajectory, equipping those who have been incarcerated with the tools, skills, and support they need to thrive once they're released. Through a blend of personal stories, expert insights, and a closer look at the programs that make a real difference, we explore the potential for true change within our prison system's walls.
Some staggering prison statistics:
<ul><li>Less than 5% of the world’s population is in the United States, but 20% (1 in 5) of the world’s incarcerated people are in US.</li>
<li>In the United States, there are 2.5 million people incarcerated. There are 15 states in America that has a population of less than 2.5 million people.</li>
<li>65% of those who are incarcerated have children. There's a generational effect there of poverty and crime when parents are incarcerated.</li>
<li>People need to experience justice when they commit crimes. But those who experience justice and end up incarcerated most of the time do not have a life sentence.</li>
<li>95% of those who are incarcerated across America will be released in the next 5 years.</li>
<li>Nationally, 70% of those who are incarcerated will return within 3 years after they're released. So 7 out of 10 who are released will return to prison.</li>
</ul>
Cary Sanders poses a provocative question that challenges the status quo and invites listeners to rethink the purpose and potential of our penal institutions: Will individuals who have served their time emerge better prepared to contribute to society, having benefitted from the resources and rehabilitation efforts funded by taxpayers' dollars? This episode sheds light on the transformative work being done by JumpStart and opens a dialogue about the broader implications of prison ministry and rehabilitation. Join us as we uncover the stories of hope, change, and the undeniable impact that comes from believing in second chances.
