American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man
The American peoples have acknowledged the dignity of the individual, and their national constitutions recognize that juridical and political institutions, which regulate life in human society, have as their principal aim the protection of the essential rights of man and the creation of circumstances that will permit him to achieve spiritual and material progress and attain happiness.
All men are born free and equal, in dignity and in rights, and, being endowed by nature with reason and conscience, they should conduct themselves as brothers one to another. Inasmuch as spiritual development is the supreme end of human existence and the highest expression thereof, it is the duty of man to serve that end with all his strength and resources.

The Effects of Wrongful Imprisonment
Wrongful convictions in the criminal justice system are not only a Canada problem, but an issue present around the world. The problem of wrongful conviction has become an accepted reality in most common law jurisdictions. High profile cases tend not only to draw our attention to the detrimental effects of a wrongful conviction, but also to point out how aspects of the criminal justice process have failed

The Effects of Wrongful Imprisonment
While all prisoners must learn to cope with the pains of imprisonment, the impact of imprisonment on the wrongly convicted appears to have effects that go beyond those experienced by other long-term prisoners, exacerbated by the unjust nature of their wrongful incarceration, mental deterioration; the indeterminate nature of sentences; including violence, cooperation, withdrawal, and the prison environment itself

We uphold the principles of social justice when we promote gender equality, or the rights of indigenous peoples and migrants.

Mrs. Pamela Hillman - Founder & President
Pamela Winderweedle Hillman is the founder and president of LifeChangers Legacy, Chebar Ministries. Our organization is designed to empower women and men returning home from incarceration and their families. We provide them with the tools necessary to equip and achieve financial independence, personal growth, family restoration, leadership, and a spiritual foundation. All through a Holy Spirit inspired curriculum of continuous education. The goal is to help the whole person live a Christ-centered life that builds confidence and dependence in God.
Our four-phase program was designed by Pamela Hillman who was sentenced to prison, has beaten the odds and succeed in recovery & became an outstanding member of society. 63% of citizens return to prison within 3 years. They have difficulty finding jobs, places to live, and most are still suffering from traumas causing a cycle of pain and suffering not only to the offenders but to their families as well. For instance, if a child has had a parent incarcerated the child is 33% more likely to commit a crime. As a result of her past and knowing the facts she has made it her life mission to use her experiences to tackle each know factor of recidivism.
Pamela has learned the history of the Stages of Change (Trans-theoretical Model). She has obtained an awareness of how to use Enhanced Supervision Program (ESP) techniques to reinforce the change process. Pamela is continually enhancing her counseling and Biblical knowledge to make LifeChangers Legacy Programs the very best possible through continuing education to be able to help the mentees/students within the gates and their families, and anyone she comes in contact with.
