Texas’ Darrington Penitentiary: A New Seminary

The first three cohorts in the historic Darrington Seminary, Rosharon, Texas.
Funded by The Heart of Texas Foundation donors and supporters.

The Darrington Penitentiary Seminary, an extension campus of The Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, is privately funded by The Heart of Texas Foundation donors. This picture was taken right after Governor Rick Perry’s historic visit to the Seminary in July of 2012, where he visited with the men, shared his heart with them, and encouraged them to persevere in their studies and their desires to give back “betterness instead of bitterness” and to serve out their long-term sentences in service to others as Field Ministers in prisons throughout Texas.
