Connie Hilton is the Northeast Texas Regional Coordinator for Bridges To Life, coordinating projects in the Greater Dallas, Wichita, Smith, Anderson, Wood, and Stephens counties. She lives in Northeast Texas.

In 1990, Connie and her husband were the victims of a senseless crime that left her husband dead and Connie beaten, raped and left for dead. Out of this tragedy, Connie has found healing through God, family and friends. Connie and her sister founded Voices for Victim’s Justice, an organization to help other victims, such as themselves, cope with the horrendous pain and suffering of being a victim of crime.

In 1999, she was introduced to John Sage. After hearing about Bridges To Life, she quickly became a part of the program and today, she devotes her full time and attention to her work with Bridges To Life.

Bridges to Life Book

Restoring Peace – Using Lessons From Prison to Mend Broken Relationships details the principles used in the Bridges To Life program, combined with actual stories from victim and inmate participants. The book is intended for repairing or improving relationships with others.

Victim Comments

“The first thing that victims must do is learn to live again. This program helps them to accept that change and learn to live and trust again.”

Inmate Comments

“The best part about this program is the small group setting which allows both victim and inmate to be open and honest with one another and the trust, confidence that is built through these groups.”
