Final Escape is a mentoring program designed to help ex-offenders get out and stay out of prison. It is an outreach of the Life Together, Inc., a 501© 3 organization of Temple Church Of God In Christ and is established as an extension of Temple Prison Ministry. It will provide a curriculum to inspire and motivate both male and female ex-offenders to explore the concepts of authentic manhood and authentic love respectively. This program is designed to revolutionize their lives while providing emergency re-entry care (food, clothing, hygiene items, bus tickets, vouchers for housing, referrals for life skill classes, job readiness training, and employment opportunities). The goal of Final Escape is to equip the ex-offenders to get out and stay out of prison, and to become productive citizens as they experience a life together.
