The Gazetteis
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.
