I'm enjoying prison ministry, particularly with the women in Hudson County Jail who have suffered tremendously in their lives.
I know a lot of people who are weak, who are in a perpetual cycle of poverty and being locked up. There are guys from my neighborhood who are in jail or who are dead. It does take a certain strength to know your environment and say, 'I can grow beyond it.'
