•November 29, 2017•

This Thanksgiving many people were sitting in their homes with family and friends.  They enjoyed turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and maybe some pie. There were a group of people who could not go home for this holiday or any holiday.

These are the men and women being held in the Moultrie County Detention Center.  Normally most people in Moultrie County overlook them. This Thanksgiving the founder of Release Through Jesus Prison Ministries wanted a special dinner for those connected with the Moultrie County Detention Center. Working with churches and local businesses from Dalton City, Bethany, Lovington and Sullivan the inmates were able to serve dinner not only to the inmates, but to the sheriff’s deputies and the Sullivan police.       Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
