Prison Fellowship® works to restore America’s criminal justice system and those it affects. We help men and women replace the cycle of brokenness that landed them in prison. We advocate for justice reform and activate grassroots networks to do the same. We equip wardens to bring restorative change to their facilities. We care for prisoners’ families and help strengthen the bond between children and their parents who are behind bars. We call the Church to lead the way in caring for those impacted by the criminal justice system. And we do it all from a biblical worldview.
Prisoners are all too often out of sight and out of mind—but they do not have to be out of hope. Our in-prison programming like the Prison Fellowship Academy®, Prison Fellowship Connection Classes™, Create: New Beginnings®, and Hope Events offer incarcerated men and women a chance to be restored to Christ and discover their true identity and purpose. When lives are restored, families are strengthened, communities become safer, and hope is unleashed. Every day, we see incarcerated people break free from their spiritual prisons and embrace a life of renewal and restoration.
