?The Forsyth Jail and Prison
Ntinistries is a full-time ministry
tKJit involves chaplains, churches
and volunteers serving the Forsyth
County Detention Center and the
Forsyth Correctional Center. This
interdenominational organization
receives no financial aid from any
leVel of government and relies
scOely on the Christian community
for funding and guidance. The
ministry offers worship services,
Bible studies, musical services,
counseling of inmates and their
families, Bibles, religious books,
magazines, practical needs for
infnates such as toiletries, corre
spfcindence with family members
at$d ex-offenders efter release and
referrals to agencies that deal with
dnig and alcohol problems.
? Chaplain Rodney Stilwell, of
the Forsyth Jail and Prison
Ministry, recognized Betsy Fulp
Bfown, director of the YWCA
PGoject New Start, for their contri
butions to fighting crime in the
community. Chaplain Stilwell pre
sented slides from the personal
and professional lives of Sweat
and Brown and gave gifts to each.
?As director of Project New
Stjrt, Brown coordinates the work
oC many volunteers who serve as
le&ders anjJ resource developers
for jail visitation, aftercare services
and family activities. The program
serves female offenders and the
families of inmates. Her desire to
sefve in this area of ministry was
shaped through Christian role
models, including her mother, at
Atdmore Moravian Church and
later at First Presbyterian Church,
where she served as an elder and as
president of Presbyterian Women.
;Chief Sweat began his career
w$h the \yjn>ton;Sf?lpm Police
Department "in 1970, 'was ntuned
"(JfTicer of the Year" in 1971 and
y
was appointed chief of police in
19$7. Stilwell honored Sweat as a
st (t>ng supporter and advocate of
the prison ministry, a man of God
and a devout Christian. "Our
community is blessed to have
hiiji," Stilwell said. "If you meet
hidi and his wife, Lenna, you will
flnai what love still looks like after
many years." Stilwell praised
Sweat for the stand he took
against more guns on the streets of
WJpston-Salem, and his service to
Ntfw Friendship Baptist Church.
Sweat was the keynote speaker
at I Union Baptist Church on
Sunday, Sept. 28, at the Union
Baptist Church, where the Cherry
Street Ensemble sang during the
mqrning service. "Giving to this
ministry is something that all
Christians should do because God
tod us to seek out those who have
no- hope. The prisoners have to
answer for what they do, but they
also have to come back into our
community. If we give them the
wojfd, it can change their hearts
an0 they can come back as differ
ent people," Sweat said.

lives of people who are incarcerat
