CBI meaning in Governmental ?

Crossroads Bible Institute (CBI) provided faith-based reentry education for people in prison in the United States and around the world. It was founded in 1984.

As a state-licensed post-secondary school, CBI offered courses on three levels corrected by trained and certified Instructors. The school's Center for Advanced Studies also housed CBI's prison reentry program that places its students with reentry agencies in the area of their anticipated release to assist them in finding a job, securing housing, continuing their education and, if desired, locating a church. Lessons were also developed for the children of prisoners.

Crossroad Bible Institute, a voice for restorative justice, was founded in 1984 by Tom De Vries. Its first courses were authored by Dr. Ed Roels. Radio pastor, Dr. David Feddes, was highly instrumental in the early years for recruiting instructors and even attracting students outside North America. In 1999, the school was led by Dr. H. David Schuringa until 2015 as it grew worldwide with 20 satellite campuses on all six livable continents. Schuringa also founded its Inmate Art Gallery, as well as Crossroad Connection--its radio and television programs, and its influential social justice arm, Crossroad Correctional Ministries. He worked closely with Chuck Colson while the post-secondary school served as the long-term discipleship arm of Prison Fellowship Ministries.

In November 2017, licensure for the Institute was ended and the organization transitioned into a para-church prison ministry and rebranded as Crossroads Prison Ministries.
