Mission Statement: Assisting and Sponsoring Parole Parole Eligible Offenders for a Successful Transition into the Community |
They are asking congregations across the Commonwealth to advocate for, and sponsor, parole eligible individuals, helping them get a second chance and a new start. This would be similar to the way many faith communities have sponsored individual refugees or refugee families, offering hands-on help in obtaining housing, employment and other needs, along with providing mentoring and ongoing encouragement.
The PUPS group has already established a committee to screen applicants from BKCC who are seen as suitable for this kind of sponsorship, and has been getting positive responses from across the Commonwealth for their plan.
Here's the link to a Power Point presentation to share with interested members of your congregation:
