“I want so bad to help in the same way that I was helped.” Reentry can bring a whole new set of problems for returning citizens. Prison Fellowship Academy provides prisoners with the tools they need for reentry.

Prison Fellowship is partnering with Tyndale and Inside Journal to make sure that every prisoner has access to their special edition Bibles for free.
