RALEIGH, N.C. – Jesse L. Jackson, Jr. who is serving his term at the federal correctional facility in Butner, North Carolina, received his first wave of visitors on November 8, namely, Senior Pastor Rick Warren and Associate Pastor Anthony Miller from Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif.
“We believe in leaders and second chances,” said Reverend Warren. “This is a private moment and we just want to love on him and pray with him,” Reverend Warren added.
CK Hoffler, attorney facilitating the visits, indicated, “The clergy reportedly prayed with him and gave him support and counsel. They further reported that the Congressman was in good spirits all things considered. He continues to regret all of the pain, shame and embarrassment that he has caused his family, his constituents and his friends but has begun the process of repaying his debt to society.”
