As an alumni of the Chaplain’s "Life Learning Program" here at the Chatham County Jail, I am amazed at Gods grace in my life over the last 13 years. The Jesus I met while incarcerated is still as real to me today as He was then. With that being said, the Lord wanted me back in jail. He wanted me to be a mediator who could bring the Jesus I met in jail back to the inmates and provide them with a testimony of His saving grace on display in me that they might receive Christ as well. I love the opportunity God has provided me and my fellow Chaplains to serve Him at the Chatham County Detention Center and to minister the life changing gospel of Christ. Chaplain Greg

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As the Chaplain for the female population, I consider it a great joy to do the work God has called me to do. As I greet each and every one with the love of Jesus, I am reminded that I to am only a servant of the Most High God. I find myself blessed to be among these women inmates who remind me daily of just how great God is for I too met Jesus at the well and received the living water. Chaplain Myra
