The AVC Story (Dial-up Version)

Hope for Parolees! One of the toughest situations in our society is faced by released prisoners, who are trying to break away from a prison worldview to healthy societal living.

The culture shock is tough, jobs are hard to get, and without some outside resources to lean on, the likelihood of returning to prison is great.

However, HOPE is provided through Police and Corrections Team—a collaboration between law enforcement and the community, including the faith community, to provide parolees with the resources they need to make a new life for themselves!

It’s an exciting and proven way of bringing hope to not only the released prisoners, but their families as well! Guests include Wayne Davison, Gardol Wilson, John Long, and Jim Tacheira.
