Prison Fellowship wants to know your story
Whether you are a former inmate, a friend or family member to someone behind bars, or a volunteer who has seen first-hand the grace and mercy of God shining into the darkest corners of our correctional system, we want to hear from you.
Since many friends of Prison Fellowship already have access to a Facebook account, we will be using your existing Facebook page to make sharing your story easy. We encourage you to write a post or post a video telling us a little about who you are, and how God has affected your life, or the life of someone you know, through the work of Prison Fellowship. After posting your story or video, please tag Prison Fellowship (you will need to be a fan of Prison Fellowship's Facebook page) to the post. Your story may provide others with strength, encouragement, and inspiration during challenging times.

When I realized I had given her son the wrong size coat last year, the mother said it didn’t matter. She said, 'When he opened the box and saw that it was from his Dad, the size didn’t matter. He hugged it and slept with it every night. Even though it didn’t fit, he thought it was perfect.'
