    Hannibal-LaGrange University – New degree program for inmates to begin in 2020

    "In partnership with the Missouri Department of Corrections...will provide theological education for long-term prisoners...within the maximum-security Jefferson City Correctional Center. The goal would be to equip offenders as missionaries, sending them out to work as field ministers in prisons across the state."

    It'll be interesting to hear how it works out, prisoners as missionaries to other prisoners.

    Yes!...

    KYTV Springfield, Mo. • Training up preachers in prison

    "The Missouri Department of Corrections is partnering....with Hannibal-LaGrange University....For now, the program will be available at facilities that house males."

    "'We plan to eventually make the pastoral ministry program available to offenders in women’s facilities'... corrections department spokeswoman Karen Pojmann said."

    "Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola — a maximum-security facility — pioneered the idea in 1995....Global Prison Seminaries Foundation....is assisting Missouri and other states with their programs."
