Patty Fleming
Director of Prison and Community Re-Entry Programs
Patty Fleming joined the team in 2013 as Chaplain after being transformed by Jesus Christ through the work of Liberty Ministries' staff and volunteers as an inmate at Montgomery County Correctional Facility. This experience has provided the passion to share the same hope and transformation through Jesus Christ with the incarcerated population.
As Director of Prison and Community Reentry Programs, one of her main goals is to identify and implement specific programming to address the needs behind the walls as well as in the community to provide successful reentry. To make these programs successful and to assist the reentrant, Patty recruits and trains volunteers to lead classes and/or mentor the individual.
