‘Offenders should be ‘met at the prison gate’ by mentors who can help them escape a life of crime.’ said Chris Grayling the Justice Secretary. He has plans for a major extension of mentoring provided by voluntary groups and private companies on a payment-by-results basis, calling for an ‘enlightened’ approach to dealing with criminals and to decry the tragedy of inmates leaving jail with no idea how to get their lives back on track.This proposal comes during ‘Prison Week’ when Christians are asked to pray for those administering justice and those within the criminal justice system. May those ministering to offenders be given the wisdom of Solomon for the tasks they are engaged in, and good judgment as they guide prisoners on their daily journey through the prison system. See: http://www.prisonsweek.org/

Pray: that the implementation of the mentoring system will grow and produce a new path for ex-prisoners to follow. (Ps.139:11-17)
