Abstract

In 2010, 77% of inmates in our county jail were incarcerated due to drug and alcohol-related offenses. This project considers how a local church jail ministry team can help address this problem through a weekly recovery-focused Bible study. Serving as chaplain volunteers, a men's team and a women's team entered the jail bringing a focus on Twelve Step Recovery while examining biblical roots of the steps. Inmates report that this approach is effective for learning how to live free of drugs and alcohol upon release, and they show evidence of the spiritual awakening described by the founders of AA.
