WOW - Women of Worth
The WOW group is a weekly character study based on women of the bible, for the female inmates at the LaPorte County Jail. The female inmates are encouraged through applicational learning, and start to have a better understanding of the moral and ethical characteristics desired of them. This study helps them to recognize that they can start on a healthy and successful road to reentry, for themselves and their families.
