A variety of flags can be indicators of trafficking. The examples listed are not definitive, and not every individual will present the same flags. Additionally, seeing one or two indicators doesn’t necessarily mean that something is happening to you, it simply lets you know that you should probably step back and take another look at the situation. How to Protect Yourself Online Exploitation Requests for pics or videos that are private. One sided conversations, like someone not sharing about themselves while you have been very open.

  • Kingdom Boundaries (Prison Aftercare) is Expanding in Sioux Falls

    Kingdom Boundaries (Prison Aftercare) is Expanding in Sioux Falls
    Jul 20 2024

    Public Affairs Director Jon Michaels (since 1977) talks with Jeff Havenhals, Director of Kingdom Boundaries and Tim Wendt, Chaplain of KB, about their expansion into serving women as well as men as they leave prison life and return to the real world.

    their website: https://www.kingdomboundaries.org

    Who is Kingdom Boundaries? We are a faith based, non-profit (501c3) organization ​established in 2013 to come alongside men upon their release from prison. The board of directors is comprised of Christian men and women from a two-state area: Iowa and South Dakota. Kingdom Boundaries Prison Aftercare (KBPA) is an independent entity based in Sioux Falls, SD.

    Our VisionTo lower *recidivism by fostering Christian character one person at a time.​

    ​*Recidivism: The return rate of inmates going back to prison.
    In other words, how many people go back to prison again after getting out.
    ​For example, if the recidivism rate is 75%, that means out of every 100 people
    ​that get released from prison, 75 end up going back.

    ​Our MissionThe mission of KBPA is to form healthy relationships between Christian mentors and former offenders, regardless of their past indiscretions, in order to help them safely re-enter society. KBPA will come alongside these men to help them discern God’s love, will, and direction for their lives. At the same time, it will make available practical assistance so that these men can become productive and independent citizens.

    ​What is "Aftercare"?“Aftercare” is a program that first seeks to establish relationships between mentors and individuals who are living in prison anticipating release. To provide continuity, upon release KBPA helps these individuals transition back into society though a mentoring program. The goal is to help the individual attain a fulfilling and productive life.​

  • (Repeat) U.S. ATTORNEY FOR FEDERAL DISTRICT OF SOUTH DAKOTA ALISON RAMSDELL

    (Repeat) U.S. ATTORNEY FOR FEDERAL DISTRICT OF SOUTH DAKOTA ALISON RAMSDELL
    Jul 14 2024

    Public Affairs Director Jon Michaels (since 1977) talks with U.S. Attorney Alison Ramsdell, Chief Federal Law Enforcement Officer for the District of South Dakota, and Gregg Peterman, First Assistant U.S. Attorney.

    from their website:

    The office of the United States Attorney for the District of South Dakota sees its roots in the United States Attorney for the District of Dakota Territory. Including parts of what are today Nebraska, Montana, and Wyoming along with all of what is North Dakota and South Dakota today, Dakota Territory was largely Lakota land ceded to the United States by the Yankton Treaty in 1858. In Sioux languages, Dakota means “allies.” Dakota Territory officially became an organized territory on March 2, 1861, shortly before Abraham Lincoln took his office. In 1863 the size of the territory was reduced to the area that is today North and South Dakota. From 1861 to 1883, the territorial capital was Yankton, now South Dakota. In 1883, the territorial capital was moved to Bismarck, now North Dakota, where it would remain until statehood. Coincidentally, the first governor of the Dakota Territory was President Abraham Lincoln’s own personal physician, William A. Jayne. The first territorial court of Dakota Territory was established in 1861 in Yankton. The first United States Attorney for the District of South Dakota was William E. Gleason.
