Prison Fellowship
The
Prison Fellowship was founded in
1976 in the
United States by
Charles W. Colson, chief counsel for
Richard Nixon, following his release from prison for his part in the
Watergate Scandal. It is now an international network of
Christians who support prisoners, former prisoners and their families. The Prison Fellowship believes that the real solution to crime is not ultimately found in therapeutic interventions, or legislative reform, but through spiritual renewal.
A charitable work of Prison Fellowship is the "Angeltree" program, which gathers gifts from sponsoring churches to give at Christmas to children of prison inmantes.
