Gadara Ministries is in pursuit to reach and assist the 11,000 inmates paroled to Houston’s Harris County each year, by forming relationships with the prisons chaplains, wardens, and parole board. We send in information as to the services we provide and engage the inmate through correspondence via our post office box. Gadara begins to mentor and disciple these men and women before they are released. We are at the bus station when these men and women are released. On many occasions, the formerly incarcerated person re-entry plan into society is already in place. This plan is formed with consideration of the state parole board, family members, the Gadara staff, and partnering organizations. We walk along side and aide men and women who were sentenced by the court system to prison and labeled not fit for society. Gadara only has an opportunity to services these men and women when the state parole system feels that these men and women are again fit for society. They are released often times with $50.00 and a bus ticket. This is not enough for the formerly incarcerated, because statistics shows that when these men and women are left with no help, they fall back into life of drugs and crime. Gadara Ministries will help to reduce crime and the recidivism rate. The rate of prison recidivism in Houston Harris County is staggering. Those being released back into society need more then just a bus ticket home. With the power of love, compassion and guidance can make a lasting change. Let’s remember that society deals with the end result of men and women after prison in one way or another. Either we reach out and help them become productive member of society or ignore the need and they fall back into the life of crime, drugs, and etc, victimizing their communities.
