About Us

We're on A Mission to Make A Difference

We are on a mission to transform the lives of prisoners, their families, and victims of crime through a global network of ministry partners, because we envision a world where the cycle of crime is broken, and lives are restored through Jesus’s love.

How We're Making A Difference

Change That Matters

Many people feel hopeless about broken prison systems.

For more than 40 years, Prison Fellowship International has built programs inside prisons around the world that are proven to restore prisoners, help their families, and integrate them back into the community—for good!

Offer Prisoners Hope

Prisoners are one of the least reached groups in the world and we have a plan to reach them. It’s called The Prisoner’s Journey.

Repair Broken Lives

Restorative justice repairs the harm caused by crime by emphasizing accountability, forgiveness, and making amends. When victims, offenders, and community members meet to decide how to do that, the results are transformational.

Protect Children

We protect children of prisoners from hopeless situations and help restore and rebuild their lives through child sponsorship.

Our Unique History

Charles Colson, former aide to President Nixon, served seven months in a federal prison camp for a Watergate-related offense. There, he became convinced the real solution to crime is found through spiritual renewal.
