PRISON FELLOWSHIP: Justice Ambassador

Funding to help equip Prison Fellowship's returning citizens and current Justice Ambassadors in becoming effective advocates.

From the halls of prison to the halls of government, Marlys has seen many sides of the criminal justice system. Now, she’s taking her advocacy to the next level.

Sheena helps returning citizens as a Prison Fellowship Justice Ambassador and runs a reentry organization in North Carolina. And she’s doing more than she ever imagined possible.

During Will’s incarceration, I learned how damaging prison culture can be. Some of our phone calls frightened me. I feared for his safety. And I kept thinking, “There has to be a better way.”

A state attorney said Robert would never change. But Robert’s story didn’t end in prison, and that surprised everyone—including him.

She witnessed her family and others being torn apart by incarceration. Now Erica is using her voice as a Justice Ambassador to help restore similar lives.

"I believe detours exist to lead you toward your ultimate destination."
