SHARE YOUR STORY

With 40 years of experience helping restore men and women behind bars, Prison Fellowship advocates for federal and state criminal justice reforms that transform those responsible for crime, validate victims, and encourage communities to play a role in creating a safe, redemptive, and just society.

In 2016, the bill, SF 3481, sought to provide more effective sentences for individuals charged with a drug crime and reinvesting savings in treatment options for those with substance abuse problems.

PRISON FELLOWSHIP IN MINNESOTA

Prison Fellowship's work in the state includes working to place youth on a restorative path in 2013 though H.F. 392 and S.F. 286. We were successful in enacted legislation which would bar public access to juvenile delinquency records and ensure that these young people are provided with the opportunity to be restored to a productive position in their community.
