Our Work

Like Lazarus, Douglass, and Tubman, many of our clients were once sentenced and considered dead and/or enslaved by society. And like Douglass and Tubman, these individuals have now decided to live their lives in a way that will free their brothers and sisters from behaviors leading to death and enslavement. Thus, our motto is:

“Resurrected to resurrect, freed to free.”

We appropriately make use of the word, “community,” because LDTC prides itself on providing a family-like environment for its clients. At LDTC, we strive for unity, togetherness, cooperation, and respect.

It should be noted that the major difference between LDTC and many other prison-related programs is the inclusion and involvement of our clients and their families in programming that empowers them to be responsible for themselves, their families, their communities, and the world.
