PRISON FELLOWSHIP BLOG: Letters from Inside

Kelsey and her mom had a destructive relationship, bonding over drug abuse and addiction.

Susan blamed her mother for everything that went wrong in her life. Until Prison Fellowship Academy taught her about forgiveness.

"I've known God throughout my life but never on an intimate level."

Kelly from Shakopee shares how she deals with loneliness while serving her prison sentence.

Emily is leaving Shakopee for the world outside, and it's a lot to process.

"I live a simple life now, but I have an overflowing joy that puts a smile on my face."

"Over time our love for each other became weaker, and our love for drugs became stronger."

"I may not understand the purpose for this right now, but I can trust Him with my health and life."

I am not proud about coming to prison and the time I've spent away from my only son, but God needed to save me from the life I was living or I wouldn't have been a mother much longer.

My name is Angelina, and I have complete freedom, even though I am in prison at Shakopee.
