“Prevention Before Detention”
“Prevention Before Detention” is a 60-90-minute dramatization of a chained and shackled prisoner.
The prisoner tells his life-changing story which offers
-
hope and encouragement to change the direction of one’s life
-
decisions to make the right choices in life by hearing his testimony
-
following the teachings of the Bible to be set free in Jesus Christ
-
opening a door of compassion for prisoners and returning citizens in a Christ-like environment
As “Rocky” states, “We all know someone who is heading down the wrong path.
I have been down that street and around that block. I choose to help others go
down a different street and a different pathway. Once I was lost and alone without
anyone to turn to and I know that many young people turn to drugs, alcohol, sex, or
wanting to belong, most of the time to the wrong things. By helping one other person,
I help break down those walls, those same walls that held me captive, by letting them
know someone really understands the pain they are going through. By sharing this,
most young people know that I am real and are more apt to listen to my life changing
transformation in Christ. One person set free is one more ripple who can help
change the world.”
