About
PRISONERS PROGRAM: MANY COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD FACE A GROWING CRISIS. MILLIONS OF PRISONERS ARE CRAMMED INTO DENSELY CROWDED PRISONS. 95% OF THESE MEN AND WOMEN WILL ONE DAY BE RELEASED BACK INTO SOCIETY. MANY WANT TO CHANGE. YET AN ESTIMATED 70% WILL COMMIT NEW CRIMES AND RETURN TO PRISON WITHIN THREE YEARS. THEY ARE BROKEN, MARGINALIZED AND HIDDEN AWAY FROM SOCIETY. PRISONERS AROUND THE WORLD SUFFER FROM INHUMANE LIVING CONDITIONS AND BROKEN JUSTICE SYSTEMS. THEY ENDURE SPIRITUAL EMPTINESS AND DESPAIR, OVERCROWDED AND UNHEALTHY LIVING CONDITIONS, DIRTY UNSAFE WATER, HUNGER AND MALNUTRITION, LITTLE OR NO MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR THE SICK AND LACK OF LEGAL KNOWLEDGE OR DUE PROCESS. IT IS NOT JUST THE PRISONERS WHO ARE TRAUMATIZED BY INCARCERATION. THEIR FAMILIES, ESPECIALLY THE CHILDREN OF PRISONERS, ARE ALSO CAUGHT IN A CYCLE OF POVERTY AND DESPAIR THAT CAN REPEAT FOR GENERATIONS. PRISON FELLOWSHIP INTERNATIONAL IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO ADDRESS THE GROWING CRISIS. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM AIMED AT SPREADING THE GOSPEL, COMBATTING UNJUST CONDITIONS, AND RESTORING JUSTICE, WE ARE READY TO IMPLEMENT A LASTING SOLUTION. THE SYCAMORE TREE PROJECT: JUSTICE AND PEACE HELPS REPAIR THE HARM CAUSED BY CRIME BY BRINGING TOGETHER VICTIMS AND PRISONERS TO DISCUSS ISSUES RELATED TO CRIME AND ITS CONSEQUENCES. THIS PROGRAM CAN HAVE PROFOUND EFFECTS ON BOTH VICTIMS AND OFFENDERS. USING A CURRICULUM, PREPARED BY PRISON FELLOWSHIP INTERNATIONAL AND BASED ON THE BOOK OF LUKE, A FACILITATOR LEADS PARTICIPANTS TO CONSIDER CONCEPTS OF RESPONSIBILITY, CONFESSION, REPENTANCE, FORGIVENESS, AMENDS, AND RECONCILIATION IN THE CONTEXT OF CRIME AND JUSTICE. OFFENDERS CONFRONTMANY FOR THE FIRST TIMETHE HARM THEIR ACTIONS HAVE HAD ON OTHER PEOPLE. AND MANY VICTIMS HAVE REPORTED RECEIVING A MEASURE OF HEALING. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT OFFENDERS WHO GO THROUGH THE SYCAMORE TREE PROJECT (STP) HAVE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN ATTITUDES THAT MAKE IT LESS LIKELY THEY WILL REOFFEND ONCE RELEASED.
