"Showcasing that second chances are possible? There is nothing I am prouder of," says country artist Jelly Roll. "And I want to continue to be an example of that." #SecondChanceMonth

Encountering Jesus with those in prison.
About us
Prison Fellowship is the nation’s largest Christian nonprofit equipping the Church to serve currently and formerly incarcerated people and their families, and to advocate for justice and human dignity. One of Prison Fellowship’s most important distinctives is our multi-faceted approach to engaging people impacted by incarceration. We facilitate transformation in a variety of ways, all within a consistent and interconnected framework. Prison Fellowship and its church partners encounter Jesus with those behind bars, breaking cycles of crime and prayerfully anticipating a revival of justice, mercy, and hope in our culture. We equip wardens to reimagine prison culture that fosters such change. While those in prison are growing in Jesus, we’re also ministering to their families. And when people who were incarcerated come home, they benefit from our work in the public square and in the halls of government, promoting laws that honor human dignity and opening doors for second chances. All our work builds upon itself, with each program supporting and magnifying the next. Interested in partnering with us? Learn more at Take Action! ============== Prison Fellowship is a national, nonprofit organization founded in 1976 by former Nixon aide Charles Colson. Colson was incarcerated for Watergate-related charges and could not forget those he had left behind prison walls. He launched Prison Fellowship to give prisoners the opportunity to experience the radically transforming power of Christ that he had already experienced.

Join leaders of the Council on Criminal Justice Centering Justice project on April 22 from 12-1 PM EST for a conversation on second chances, including examples of progress and barriers to successful reintegration. Speakers Heather Rice-Minus, Louis L. Reed, LADC, AADC, and Lisa D. Daniels will examine how second-chance policies influence opportunities for people with criminal records and where these policies still fall short in producing public safety and justice. The panel will also discuss pending second chance legislation at the federal and state levels and consider how these developments may affect future policy and reform efforts Register at: https://lnkd.in/gZcp_Mu8 Learn more about Centering Justice at: https://lnkd.in/gXyJ-wdk
