Organization Profile
Interfaith Prison Partnership
http://interfaithprisonpartnership.org
We believe in the inherent value of every human being, including criminal offenders, and envision a world where incarcerated people are offered opportunities for rehabilitation and healing.
We believe in dialogue among all stakeholders about change in our criminal justice system from a punitive to a rehabilitative stance; and that the primary impetus for change lies with the public, not just the prison or political system.
Our mission is to increase awareness and encourage change regarding the plight of those imprisoned in this country and abroad in what are often difficult and deplorable conditions.
We strive to encourage and expand humanity's connection with imprisoned men and women - and their families - in the areas of rehabilitation, reconciliation, reentry back into society, and spiritual development.
