How
do you change the life of an inmate? Some criminals seem so hardened
from their lives of crime that it seems they’ll never change.
Some people would say ‘good riddance, they deserve the lives
they’ve created for themselves,’ but at Car Angel,
we believe that every life is worth saving.
Car
Angel started to create books that would meet criminals where
they’re at and inspire them to make changes in themselves.
In May 2005, Car Angel sent out 200,000 of these books into the
prisons and you know what? They’re making a difference.
We
have received letters from chaplains, wardens and especially inmates
thanking us for the books we’ve sent out and asking for
more materials. Some of the letters as so inspiring they would
bring tears to your eyes.
Every
year a new book is released into the prisons and our books are
known to save taxpayers an estimated $160,000,000 a year because
of the changes they have inspired. Inmates have completely changed
their lives around and can enter into society as changed individuals,
capable of all sort of good things.
An
excerpt from one of our books, Death Sentence, is posted below.
Our hope is that you can read it and see why our books have had
the effects they have. Every life is worth saving, and with the
books we put out at Car Angel, hundreds of lives have been saved.
