Most Christians know that God calls His people to visit the prisoner and seek justice. But many of us don't have a clear understanding of the issues. Prison Fellowship believes the Church has a unique capacity to minister people in prison, care for families impacted by incarceration, and be a welcoming place for people coming home from jails and prisons. We also want to help the Church awaken to the complexities and injustices in our criminal justice system. And we want to equip them to respond. We believe that when policies align with scriptural values, they bear fruit in the form of transformed lives and communities. But we also know that politics is downstream from culture. If we want to change public policy, we have to start with culture. That's what we're doing with Outrageous Justice. We've found that 94% of participants surveyed after using the curriculum reported increased awareness about criminal justice issues. The majority also reported taking action to advance justice reform or minister to people impacted by crime and incarceration. |
