PUNTA GORDA — The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office’s faith-based program for jail inmates graduated its second class Wednesday, and much like the inaugural class, this second group, which consisted of four grads, is hoping the lessons learned in the program will help to provide a new start once they’re released.

Dan Wilson, 30, who violated his probation on previous drug charges, feels the program will help him not only be a better citizen but provide a better life for his 4-year-old son, who is waiting for him at home.
