In the fall of 2020, a Prison Fellowship Hope Event™ took place at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution, Tennessee’s highest security prison. Although modified to comply with the facility’s COVID-19 restrictions, the event still provided the prisoners a brief respite from the challenges of life behind bars.

For James J. Ackerman, president and CEO of Prison Fellowship, the event felt like a homecoming.

Take the message of salvation through prison bars and into open hearts. Through Hope Events, socially distanced in-person or virtual, men and women have the opportunity to choose faith in our risen Savior. Will you help us share the resurrection power of Jesus Christ to bring more hope to more prisoners this Easter?
