The Pure Water Gazette's Hero of the Month Award

 

The Gazette is honored to salute Mr. Jim McCloskey, founder and executive director of Centurion Ministries, a nondenominational, nonprofit organization dedicated to freeing unjustly imprisoned inmates.

Mr. McCloskey quit a high paying job in 1979 to devote himself to the service of others. Since that time he has helped free 24 wrongly convicted prisoners--some of whom were on death row. He was present when two of his clients, men of whose innocence he was certain, were executed.

McCloskey's organization receives approximately 1,000 requests per year for help and is able to pursue only a few of them.
