Faith Representative

"The Bureau of Prisons is often bureaucratic, but for my position they have been remarkably responsive. I started as a volunteer but over three years of proving myself have now attained three contracts as a prison faith contractor. They look to good workers, retain them where possible, and help them to return to their education."
