Brothers in White Chapel, Inc.

About this Organization

Each unit houses approximately 1500 men. Presently, because of limited space, most of men cannot participate in a faith-based environment. With a chapel, each prison unit could minister to 500 more men each year than presently available. Of the total prison population, 90% of the men incarcerated can expect to someday be released. Of course, we would all hope that these men would then be law-abiding, tax-paying citizens never to return to prison. However, this is often not the case. Recidivism rates vary for each state but in Texas, for men with no continued immersion in a faith-based environment in prison such as a chapel would provide, 60%-70% of those men typically return to prison within 3 years. The state of Texas spends over $3.5 billion to house and care for approximately 160,000 inmates. Recidivism rates for men who participate and are immersed in a faith-based environment, 60%-70% of those men leave prison and never return. They leave prison to return to their families as a changed man who is prepared and has learned pro-social behaviors through their faith-based experiences in prison. They can then become good fathers, husbands, and citizens.
