"By age 13, I had enough of the abuse from my alcoholic mom and the sexual abuse from whatever boyfriend she had in the picture. I stole a car and drove north. The car theft was my first felony. ...
I have now spent more than 31 years in prison but am freer than I have ever been."

"I spent three weeks in the Alachua County Jail. The first couple days I was there all I did was cry. In jail, I attended chapel services by The Jesus Infusion and Nicole. The ministry is
amazing. The girls that participate thrive. I would have gone back to drugs when I got out but Nicole talked with me, mentored me and showed me a new way.
I cannot thank her enough for her ministry and what she does in the jails and in the prisons, she has helped save my life!"

The Jesus Infusion is a faith-based nonprofit organization helping women in prison in the north central Florida area. The ministry began after Nicole Dyson, TJI Founder, served her own sentence in federal prison. She has a thorough understanding of the complex struggles women face before and after their release. She helps to infuse the light of Jesus in the dark for over 3,000 women a year.
For over a decade, through TJI's prison and jail programs, reentry support and Pen Pal ministry, women have been discovering grace, hope and a new kind of freedom- the freedom of walking with Jesus.
We help empower women
to walk in a truly new way, a life infused with Jesus, during incarceration or once released, which is what we call reentry.
"Prison is a place of deep darkness, housing the most lost and least among us. These women are often those who have lived through immense trauma, with childhoods and experiences incomprehensible to many of us.
TJI not only tells women of the love of Jesus, but comes alongside with grace and compassion and shows them the love of Jesus."
