A Union County woman is continuing her grassroots effort to make sure Illinois' correctional officers are kept in people's prayers.
Marsha Griffin of Jonesboro has already hosted two prayer rallies for correctional officers – and for southern Illinois as a region. Now, she has created a Facebook page called My Brother's Keeper. Griffin says it's meant to be a place for people to pray for the safety of prison guards and their families.
Griffin says she and many others are concerned about the increased violence at Illinois prisons since the closure of the Tamms Correctional Center and several other facilities.
Since starting the Facebook page last week, Griffin says My Brother's Keeper has around one thousand members. Griffin's husband and several other family members are correctional officers.
