“… I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison,
and ye came unto me.” – Matthew 25:36
For over a quarter of a century, Justice & Mercy’s co-founder, Dr. Tom Zeager has been advocating for justice, for prison reform, for correction over punishment, for education, restoration and reconciliation.
What began as an assignment has transformed into the compassionate quest for mercy and justice. Today Justice & Mercy, Inc. - a trusted faith-based 501(c)(3) organization, continues the advocating for prison reform in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by meeting with inmates, attending prison board meetings, publishing literature, hosting events to increase awareness and educate the community. Justice & Mercy serves those criminally impacted and their families by providing a better understanding of the criminal justice system, referrals for available resources, encouragement and hope.
“As I read through this book about the unbelievable injustices that have occurred in criminal justice systems I began to see some familiarity to situations I have witnessed and heard about from men during my 27 years of incarceration.” – Kerby Keller. Justice & Mercy has partnered with Kerby Keller, a devout Christian who is serving a life sentence in a Pennsylvania State Prison. We believe the message within the text of Bryan Stevenson's book titled “Just Mercy” is an accurate portrayal to understand the plight of children and adults who are improperly adjudicated under false testimony in America.
In Matthew 25:36, Jesus says, “… I was in prison and ye came unto me.” Justice & Mercy goes into prison to help inmates understand the criminal justice system and illuminate their future options. Justice & Mercy is able to visit inmates and listen to their plight. Often this may be the only chance most inmates have at obtaining help due to the way our criminal justice system is set up. Justice & Mercy will visit inmates during the darkest time in their life, when separation and confusion is routine. Justice & Mercy appears as the bright light to help guide the least of these. Justice & Mercy depends upon your prayers and financial support for each one, to reach one. — Dr. Tom Zeager
