“The jail does not have to be the end, it can be the beginning of the definitive forever.” “The support of ministers and other leaders here in our own community is strong. A group of veterans, led by Rep. Robert Williams, comes to guide the men, ”says the publication.

The images show the prisoners baptized and holding hands in prayer, receiving good comments from followers.

Darlington County Sheriff Tony Chavis told Fox News that the initiative to guide prisoners began after a “Stop Violence” meeting earlier this year.

“Yes we can touch one of these lives for Christ, that they know they don’t have to remain in a life of crime, and that they can get out of jail through the Lord,” said Chavis.

He added: “People care about them,” “I care about them. I worry about your safety. I care about them beyond my walls here at the W. Glenn Campbell Detention Center ».

That Sunday, they were scheduled to baptize 10 men, but quickly grew to 18, which led to a total of almost 30 who have been baptized in a few months, led by the state Democratic representative Robert Williams.

In addition to sharing the Gospel with inmates, prison reform focuses on mentoring and helping them get jobs.
