About This Cause
Prison Fellowship International was founded by Charles Colson following his release from prison after serving a sentence for a “Watergate”-related crime. During his own imprisonment, Mr. Colson had seen and experienced the difference that faith in Jesus Christ makes in people’s lives. He became convinced that the real solution to crime is found through spiritual renewal. Three years after the formation of Prison Fellowship in the United States, representatives from similar organizations around the world met to form Prison Fellowship International as an association of national Prison Fellowship organizations. Since 1979, Prison Fellowship International has grown to encompass national Prison Fellowship ministries in over 125 countries around the world. Prison Fellowship International is now the largest and most extensive association of national Christian ministries working within the criminal justice field. This unique and diverse organization remains dedicated to communicating the redemptive love and transforming power of Jesus Christ to prisoners, ex-prisoners, their families, and victims of crime around the world. As a non-governmental organization (NGO), Prison Fellowship International maintains “special consultative status” with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and is an active participant in the United Nations Alliance of NGOs on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice.
