What we do and where we are

Rehabilitation, Reconciliation, and Community Safety. Bridges To Life (BTL) brings healing to victims of crime, reduces recidivism among offender graduates of the program, and helps make our community a safer place.

BTL is a nonprofit 501 (C)3 corporation headquartered in Houston, Texas, with programs in prisons throughout the state of Texas.  See our 2011 Annual Report here.
