Putting society first in social and criminal justice reform
Watch our video!
Society-First seeks to educate the public on how mass incarceration affects every citizen whether they have been the victim, perpetrator, incarcerated, or even had a parking ticket. The reforms of one group affect us all thus we aim to make information our strongest ally in the fight most do not even know exists.
We seek to enlighten the people about the sweeping effects that lead many to prison and how change is paramount to our future. How we can develop new ideologies in ridding our nation of a culture that is responsible for its victimization. A culture, not a people, that is behind the cold detachment that has created this rampant criminality so ingrained in many of our citizens.
To understand not only what brings those to victimize, but also how we can prevent such from taking place at all. That when the prison is needed, it will be efficient in cultivating people into productive members of society... and not simply warehousing them indefinitely. A society that takes no ownership in its problems, is a society that will never identify its solutions.
Society-First is a social networking site that seeks to bring light to the people who are most affected by the criminal justice system, our communities. It is essential our justice system becomes a productive part of society itself and is imperative we find the best-laid plan in reforming it. Justice can NO LONGER wear a blindfold, she must open up her eyes to see what she has BECOME.

LOVE IS THE BEST VENGEANCE GIVEN
DEAR SOCIETY,
The very word "redemption" means someone has made a mistake... Someone has sinned against another. It literally means someone will have to come back from a past wrong.
The very door that allows one to go from the old to the new is forgiveness, yet the world has tricked us into removing forgiveness from our belief system.
How can those who are in prison believe in the forgiveness of an unseen God, if they cannot even see forgiveness in those who proclaim to believe in this unseen God?
I think on all of this and come to finally understand why God said, "Vengeance is Mine. I will repay, says the Lord."
It is simple, as our vengeance is based out of fear, torment, anger, and unforgiveness it cannot hold true to the qualities of Christ... It cannot be true representatives of God or His love for a lost world.
So I wondered, how is God's vengeance any different from ours? His reply was, "My vengeance is My love, Al... It is such a purifying fire that it revenges every wrong done to Me and My children... It burns away all contaminates of past wrongs, and creates new creatures of purifying love."
Does our vengeance ever bring healing to any of us... Does our anger... Does our fear... Does our bitterness? Look deep into your soul and ask yourself, "What has my vengeance ever done for me?"
When we were yet sinners God's vengeance purified every single one of us... It brought us all to the door of redemption... of restoration... of transformation.
What I want to ask every single one of you is to help the Body of Christ walk in this very same vengeance... this very same love. What Society-First ask is that you walk down this Road to Restoration with us, help us heal the wounds of the past.
You don't have to actually step foot inside the prisons, just come to the social gatherings outside of the prisons. Let the men, women, and children who look out from behind the fences see the true vengeance of God... Let them see and hear your worship... let them see and hear your testimonies... Let them see and hear your vengeance... Let them see and hear your love!
Restorers of the Breach,
Society-First
