CURE: Citizens United for the Rehabilitation of Errants

Annual Day of Pride & Prayer
coming in November 2012.

Arkansas CURE is one of many organizations that is networking resources and leveraging ideas into tangible benefits for all.

On Saturday, October 29, 2011, Arkansas CURE held its annual day of Pride & Prayer, celebrated in the Rotunda of the Arkansas State Capitol building in Little Rock.

At right and below: The program opened with a capella song, the harmonious notes of soul-stirring hymnals resonated with special vibrato throughout the polished marble halls.

Arkansas CURE supports positive prison reform through restorative (not just punitive) justice.

"Training rather than chaining!"

Subsequent to formal introductions (photo at right), Arkansas CURE founder and leader, Sis. Effie Bowers, DAV, (photo below) took the podium, expressing thanks and appreciation for all the time and energy invested by CURE volunteers, she explained how CURE advocates regularly visit with juvenile detainees, working with them to piece together opportunities and services that will enable them, upon release from incarceration, to establish and build a meaningful life in society.
The official state affiliate of CURE National, Arkansas Cure works to promote rehabilitation for the benefit of the community as a whole, and of the incarcerated individual through meaningful criminal justice reform by advocating for meaningful change through the legislative process.
