Justice Reform Resources for Volunteers and Churches

JUSTICE REFORM RESOURCES FOR CHURCHES

Our criminal justice system is broken. It often neglects the needs of victims, exacts revenge instead of enforcing accountability on those who've caused harm, and fails to make our communities safer. It’s time for a new approach.

Your church can advocate for a criminal justice system that upholds restorative values so that communities are safer, victims are respected, and those who have caused harm are transformed.

TAKE ACTION

Your church can advocate for justice that restores today! Here are some ways to get started.

Legacy of helping prisoners

LEARN

Did you know that 1 in 3 American adults has a criminal record, which limits their access to education, jobs, housing, and other things they need to reach their potential? Learn how your church can help unlock brighter futures for the 70 million people who've repaid their debt to society.

Legacy of helping prisoners

ADVOCATE

Your church can help elected officials embrace justice reform. Learn more by visiting our Second Chance® Sunday Church Toolkit or start today by signing the Justice Declaration to join our growing network of advocates. Together we can inspire more Christians to take a stand and advance justice that restores.

STUDY

God calls us to seek justice, but the criminal justice system is complex. You're invited to take part in our free Outrageous Justice small-group curriculum, designed to give Christians a clear understanding of how to address crime and incarceration and promote restoration for all those involved.

VOLUNTEER

You can help change hearts and minds in your church, community, and the halls of congress. Partner with Prison Fellowship to develop strategic relationships with lawmakers, write letters to the editor, host an event or small group, and more.

THE JUSTICE DECLARATION

WHAT IS "JUSTICE THAT RESTORES"?

Justice that Restores

• Justice that restores prioritizes and respects victims by providing assistance, validation, restitution, information, protection, and participation.

• Justice that restores compels responsible parties to make up for their harms and advocates for a just process, proportional punishment, a chance to make amends, a constructive culture, and opportunities to earn trust and closure.

• Justice that restores enables communities to facilitate justice through education, acceptance, support, civic participation, and safety.
