REMEMBER THOSE IN PRISON

Prisons are cold and isolating places. Separated from all that they have ever known or loved, men and women behind bars struggle with feelings of guilt, despair, and hopelessness. As they pay the price for past behavior and poor choices, they long for a time when they can be restored—healed from the wounds of their old lives and reconciled to the ones they have hurt.

For 40 years, Prison Fellowship has been working to bring about healing in the lives of prisoners, their families, and their communities.  With the help of corrections officials and volunteers, we seek to make prisons places of rehabilitation where justice is served, lives are transformed, and healing can begin.

In fall of 2015, Idalee and Prison Fellowship teamed up to produce a music video documentary in a Houston-area prison. Idalee came in for a couple days, and joined with a band from inside the prison to perform the song for the general prison population. The audience of incarcerated men had an amazing time—they loved the song and they loved talking with Idalee and his production team. The crew recorded the men's stories of searching for healing in prison, and the brokenness that many of them still feel.

HELP US HEAL THOSE BEHIND BARS

Prison Fellowship exists to bring healing to prisoners and their families. Through in-prison programming, events, mentorship and support for those outside the bars, we seek to restore those impacted by the cycle of crime and incarceration. We invite you to learn more about the work Prison Fellowship is doing by signing up for our weekly newsletter, filled with stories of transformation, updates on advocacy opportunities, and stories of men and women learning what it means to be healed and restored.

A MESSAGE FROM IDALEE

It’s become pretty common knowledge that American prisons are overcrowded. Over-criminalization locks away too many people, and mandatory minimum sentences are setting our culture back. They’re big problems and there are more than a few opinions on how to change this. I’m not really gonna talk about that now.

Through performing music in prison and shooting video with inmates all over the country, I’ve become most committed to seeing that these men and women get a true second chance afforded when they are released back to society—which over 90% of incarcerated people will be at some point. I care about them getting help on the inside and a fair enough playing field for them to get to work when they get out.

I didn’t go to prison myself. Could have. Easily. But I didn’t. I feel like I got a second chance at music after my accident—a chance to contribute—to create. For those who TRULY work for a second chance—I want them to get it.
