NOBLE CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTE, Caldwell Ohio

Noble Correctional Institute requested MPM visit their facility and administer a 3 day intensive workshop for their inmates. Noble’s average inmate term is about 6 months for most prisoners and their rehabilitation programs are varied and many. DUI, AA, NA, Family Violence and all Spiritual Traditions are represented within their programming.

Rev’s. Michael and Joan presented their workshops to over 120 prisoners, who made the commitment to attend all sessions and receive their certificate upon completion. Chaplain George Huggins and Program Director for Recovery Services, Monna Born, hosted Michael and Joan. Each inmate received a booklet of handouts, The Miracle Saturday Night 12-Step meeting and The Peace booklet. Books and videos were donated to the Chaplain’s Library.

Classes focused on Self-Responsibility, God Dependency, Forgiveness, St. Matthew’s Sermon on the Mount and The 12-Steps as a Spiritual Recovery program, in their original conception from Bill Wilson.

Inmates expressed a genuine gratitude for the program and a very real experience of Peace and seeing their world in a new way. Many are signing up for the Spiritual Recovery Correspondence Course as a way to further their studies, even if they change locations or are released!

MPM is grateful for the opportunity to “give it away” and share our commitment to the Ministry and to God and our brothers, whoever and wherever they be.

God Bless us….everyone!
