She is a compassionate, intelligent, and incredibly Christian woman, and has truly blessed my life. However, prison is a dark and lonely place, and she often feels depressed when there is no one to share her faith wi th or talk to. Please write; you will both be blessed by it."

Rev. James Panozzo 862308
Wabash Valley Correctional Facility
P. O. Box 1111
Carlisle, IN 47838
Rev. James Panozzo writes: I was saved in 1991 while at the prison in Michigan City, IN and I became an ordained minister May 7, 1997. I've been in prison now for 10 years for armed robbery and kidnapping (two counts) and my sentence was for 65 years.
Prison has saved my life! Because since I've been in prison I have been able to take a long look deep inside myself and what I have seen has frightened me! So I prayed the sinners prayer and accepted Christ into my life and slowly over the years I began to change and I became a totally new man!
I knew deep within my heart of hearts that if I did not change I was in for nothing but more heartache and misery. Before I was saved I was constantly tormented inside and never happy. I knew that if I truly wanted to live I couldn't continue to live life my way, I had to live life Christ's way. 2 Corinthians 1:9 says, "Indeed in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead."
