Issues in Criminal Justice (JF)
|
Justice Fellowship is the arm of Prison Fellowship that works for criminal justice reform. Because our nation needs it.
| If you locked your doors this morning, you've been influenced by crime |
We seek to change our criminal justice system at every level so that it reflects the principles of restorative justice found in the Bible. Restorative justice teaches that crime harms victims, communities, and offenders. We promote a system that effectively repairs these injuries and brings greater peace and security to lives and communities.
 To realize this vision, Justice Fellowship advocates for reform through grassroots lobbying and working closely with federal and state government officials. We publish articles on criminal justice to educate the public about the need for change. We act as honest brokers in the halls of government to build bipartisan support for reform legislation. And we give advice and technical assistance to government committees and commissions on important criminal justice subjects.
How We Began
| And YOU can make a significant contribution, too! |
Justice Fellowship was founded in 1983 by Chuck Colson as an outgrowth of his ministry in prisons, Prison Fellowship. As he worked to help prisoners transform through the truth and power of Jesus Christ, Chuck realized that a second emphasis was also needed-to help transform the injustices within our criminal justice system. Justice Fellowship operated as an independent nonprofit organization until 2001, when it became a department within Prison Fellowship.
Quality research and successful campaigns for reform and have earned respect for Justice Fellowship in capitals and courthouses across the country. Through decades of faithful service, we have made significant contributions to restoring justice across the nation.
