Since connecting with Catholics who led a Bible study at Scott County
Jail, former inmate Patrick Andrews said he’s entered a season of
rebuilding.
While serving time in the jail in 2009 after committing first-degree
theft, Andrews knew he needed help. “I was completely broken. My family
had nothing to do with me; the friends I thought I had were gone. I
needed to grab a hold of any truth I could.”
