Jay Gardner/Torn Pages

From the beginning. it’s been part of Jay Gardner’s vision to help prisoners transition back into society. Many prisoners are discharged with nothing more than $35 and a bus ticket. Building a new life on that basis is a brutal challenge that often turns out poorly. Recidivism hurts everyone.

All sales of Torn Pages jewelry go directly into supporting the great work of multiple organizations they have partnered with as well as in ministering directly to prisoners who are ready to learn life and vocational skills, be discipled into a life in Christ, and begin to live the new life of true freedom God has planned for them after serving their sentences.
