God Behind Bars is a non-profit organization with the goal to introduce inmates to Jesus and connect them to the local church. Since 2009, God Behind Bars has partnered with ministries across the country to transform the lives of inmates and their families by introducing them to Jesus and connecting them with a local church.
1.9 million people in the U.S. are affected by incarceration each year, the most unchurched population in our country.
It’s a simple fact that less than 14% of inmates are serving life sentences, and up to as many as 95% of all incarcerated individuals will be released back to society at some point. 27% of those released will return to prison within three years, 82% will return to prison within ten years. God Behind Bars addresses this drastic recidivism problem with a unique approach that focuses on the spiritual, physical, and relational needs of inmates and their families.

God Behind Bars has just released a music video, "Outlaw" featuring Stephen McWhirter that I enjoy. I hope you will also...
