Faith in Corrections Conference to be held April 13-14, 2007 in Nashville, TN:

Many services that offenders receive while incarcerated in Tennessee's Corrections system are provided by volunteers from a variety of non-profit and religious groups.  Their efforts can often make a real difference in how the offender transitions to their home community and how that community reacts to their return.

The Tennessee Community Resource Board, with support from the Tennessee Department of Corrections, is sponsoring the first of its kind conference aimed at empowering, energizing, and equipping volunteers with ways that can help lower the recidivism rate.  The conference also provides a statewide forum for encouraging volunteers by acknowledging their importance to the Department of Correction and to the thousands of families in our state.
