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.
