“The ultimate freedom we have as human beings is the power to select what we will allow our minds to dwell upon” (Dallas Willard).

 

“Imprisonment” is something that every human being experiences at some point in their lifetime; whether imprisoned in addiction, fear, purposelessness, mental health issues or cycles of abuse. Imprisonment is in the mind, and we are all in need of help out of that, at some point in our lives. Those who are ex-offenders or at risk have greater need, as they also experience rejection by society and sometimes loved ones, as well as a profound sense of uselessness or shame. ‘Rehabilitation’ should be much more than getting out of crime and into so-called ‘productive work’, but rather renewing their identity and purpose into healthy wholeness.
