Sec Community on B3 Photos by Todd l.uck Participants join hands and pray in front of the Forsyth County Law Enforcement Detention Center. A TIME TO PI^AY Prayering residents surround jail BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE Hundreds of people surrounded the Forsyth County Law Enforcement Detention Center last Friday evening to pray. Organized by the Forsyth Jail and Prison Ministry (FJPM), the event called upon a ring of humanity to encircle the 11-story, 735-cell jail, which is located at 201 N. Church St. and houses misdemeanor and pre-trial offenders. Prayers were lifted not only for inmates, but their families, jail staff and those affected by crime. FJPM used to hold the jail prayer event annually, but the effort was scaled back when participation dwindled. Last week's event was the first in sever al years, according to Chaplain Rodney Stilwell. "We want folks to know and be reminded that inside the jail and outside the jail, it's God's world, and God controls it. And we want to make sure peo pie are reminded of that," he said. "We want to send some hope that people haven't given up on them." FJPM serves about 750 inmates and their families and about 200 staffers at the Detention Center by providing worship servic es, bible studies, life skills seminars and programs to help inmates reintegrate into society. Stilwell said it takes about 350-400 people to form an unbroken circle around the jail. There Sec Prayer on B7 Abraham.
