(God’s Plan) construction, and with the
other hand held a weapon.

“Chain Breakers”
Our Approach
Start with “Preparation“ stage (inside discipleship
for at least 2 years before release.
Establish “Provision” stage ( transitional
housing,jobs,mentoring upon release for 1 year).
Develop the “Placement” stage (upon graduation of
the inside/outside classes, assist with permanent
housing and reconciliation w/ community and
family).
WHY AFTERCARE MINISTRY
IN South Carolina ?
South Carolina ranks # 7 in the total US in recidivism rates,
making it a perfect place to begin this vision.
According to data from SCDC† there is a population of 21,712
inmates in SC , *11,409 were released in 2012.
10,170 came into SCDC in 2012. In fact there are over 33k on
parole.
SCDC spent over $370m maintaining and housing prisoners in
2012. Additionally, SC spends on average over $16k per year on
Distribution by Committing County of
each inmate. Furthermore with the average prison term at 5
SCDC Inmates- Top 10 (Released)
years, SC spends over $80k per inmate just on maintaining and
G'ville
housing these inmates.
