Emmett Solomon, Executive Director
In 1992, 35 prison ministers came together in Belton, Texas to discuss how we might better collaborate. At that meeting it was decided that we needed a communication network. The INFORMS Network was established that same year as a non-profit corporation.
In 1993, Emmett Solomon took early retirement from his role as Director of Chaplains for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to become Executive Director of the organization officed in Huntsville, TX. In March of 1994 the first edition of the INFORMS Newspaper was published. It was designed to be a trade journal for prison ministry.
In 1999, the name of the network was changed to the Restorative Justice Ministries Network and the newspaper renamed the Restorative Justice News. In 2005, the newspaper change to a newsletter format. In 2007, it became the RJ News e-newsletter.
