The Second Chance Act has awarded $10 million in mentoring grants and that is potentially good news if some of those organizations are astute enough to utilize reformed criminals as mentors, but based on the history of most government funded mentoring programs—which have been around for decades—the mentors are traditionally non-criminals who have little knowledge and training in the aspects of the criminal world their mentoring must counteract.
We wish them all well.
Here is a link to the pdf notice with names of the grantees and funded amounts.

"The sinner is at the very heart of Christianity. Nobody is so competent as the sinner in matters of Christianity. Nobody, except the saint." Charles Peguy (1873-1914)
