Here is some good news out of California: Redlands United Church of Christ is doing their part to build a more just world by working to start a new program to help parolees make the transition from prison into the community. The program will work to help people finds jobs, for example, and the local police chief is hopeful the church's work will will cut down the number of parolees who end up back in prison. Letting people out of prison without any hope for a better future does nothing to cut crime or to make communities safer. I hope their effort is a great success.
