Mission Statement
Justice & Mercy is a nonprofit, faith-based organization dedicated to decreasing the effects of crime in our communities, increasing public safety, and ministering to and restoring both crime victims and offenders. We achieve these goals by educating and informing the public at large, advocating cost-effective and practical reforms within the criminal justice system and by supporting and encouraging wise public policy. We also network with and support other criminal justice organizations and encourage church and community outreach efforts by working to increase knowledge and understanding of criminal justice issues.

Today, the organiztion is headed by Board Chairman and President, Dr. Tom Zeager. Our current programs include policy reform at the state level and the Matthew 25 Project which is visiting with inamtes at the county jail on a per request basis.
