Behind Bars & Beyond

We are an interfaith community group devoted to advocacy and support for Wayne County residents currently incarcerated or returning to the community. We are a working group of the Wooster Interfaith Justice Committee, a coalition of representatives from area faith communities. Behind Bars & Beyond began as a working group in April of 2013, and out mailing list now includes some 50 concerned citizens. Our goals are to provide direct support through prison visits, letter writing, and a re-entry support group, to expand local awareness of issues related to incarceration and re-entry and advocate for needed policy changes in the criminal justice system.
