ENCOUNTERING JESUS WITH THOSE IN PRISON
Even the most broken lives and situations can be restored and made whole when we respond to God’s call to serve men and women behind bars.
Every person is made in the image of God. No life is beyond His reach. Founded in 1976, Prison Fellowship® is the nation’s largest Christian nonprofit equipping the Church to serve currently and formerly incarcerated people and their families, and to advocate for justice and human dignity both inside and outside of prison.
TRANSFORMING THE LIVES OF PRISONERS
Prison Fellowship staff and volunteers join with the Church inside prison to hold events and programs in correctional facilities across the country, sharing the hope of the Gospel and encountering Jesus alongside incarcerated men and women.
CARING FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
Through Prison Fellowship Angel Tree, churches help support the families of prisoners year-round through delivering Christmas gifts on behalf of incarcerated parents, sending kids to summer camp, facilitating one-day sports camps, and more.
ADVOCATING FOR JUSTICE THAT RESTORES
Prison Fellowship advocates for a more restorative approach to justice that advances proportional punishment, constructive corrections culture, and second chances.RESTORING HOPE FOR NEARLY 50 YEARS
Men and women behind bars, victims of crime, families torn apart by incarceration—all are loved by God and worthy of our attention. There is always hope. Together, we strive to encounter Jesus with those incarcerated, make prisons safer and more rehabilitative, and advance criminal justice reforms.
LET'S REPLACE THE CYCLE OF CRIME WITH A CYCLE OF RENEWAL
Prison Fellowship's amazing volunteers and supporters are making this possible each and every day. Will you join us as we help prisoners find a new life path, care for families with incarcerated loved ones, and give former prisoners a second chance?
