History
Prison Fellowship International's story began in 1974 in a cell at Maxwell Prison in Alabama with a former politician who realized that he could work for the Lord, in or out of prison. It is a story of humiliation turned into glory, a story of unwavering faith and dedication, a story that has transformed the lives of millions. It is a story of international collaboration resulting in prison systems changed, cycles broken, hurt repaired, and families and communities restored. With you - our partners in ministry - the story continues.
