The Jessamine County Detention Center is committed to provide those incarcerated the ability to openly practice their religion. Every week the Detention Center Chaplin, Larry Goldey plans and organizes worship services within the Detention Center. For those who have not yet embraced religion, they are encouraged to attend church services so that they can learn the word of God. Jon Sallee feels that religion plays an important role in the rehabilitation of those who are incarcerated. By learning the lessons that are taught in the bible he feels that it is the most important step in rehabilitation, so that the offender can be a productive member of society. If an inmate so chooses to commit their life to Christ, Jon Sallee has a formed a partnership with Jessamine Christian Church to provide baptism services. Since beginning the program there have been 252 inmates baptized at Jessamine Christian Church. |
