I sat spellbound as a group of inmates staged a short drama in the prison chapel. Behind them were the chapel altar and a large crucifix depicting a bloodied suffering Jesus hanging on the cross. The actors, female prisoners, wearing costumes they had made, performed their roles with passion and compelling eloquence. In the audience, some of the prisoners began wiping tears from their eyes and I fought to hold back my own tears as the impact of the story they were re-enacting beside the altar and the crucifix washed over me.
PFI confronts justice system problems ranging from poorly managed prisons to deprivation of fundamental human rights. National PF Ministries also promote restorative justice as a more effective response to crime.
The PFI Secretariat has collected, developed, and is disseminating world-class resources on all aspects of prison ministry relating to prisoners, released prisoners, and their families.
The PFI Secretariat works with emerging, new and established PF leaders to address wide-ranging needs and issues, from going deeper spiritually to leading and managing more skillfully.
