That shows initiative. A 12-year veteran of state prison, Chester has a sharp mind and a vivid way with metaphors. He described the dizzying array of programs with which he'd been involved in prison. Yet I still found myself wondering whether Chester's success was sustainable. If AMEN's statistics are any guide, the answer is yes.
Examples abound of FBOs with similar success rates.
Consider Faithworks, a program in New York City for drug-addicted homeless men whose success rates are promising. Governor Bush is clearly excited about these programs. Reckless men become loving fathers. Prisoners become spiritual leaders. A belief that no one is finally a failure or a victim, because everyone is the child of a loving and merciful God.
