Prison Fellowship Australia volunteers assist prisoners in a number of ways, with financial support needed for these programs to continue.
Many prisoners do not have a family member or friend to visit them and even if they do they often like to share their struggle with someone impartial who genuinely cares for them.
Visitation is an integral step in the process of a prisoner's reintegration back into the community and of lowering recidivism rates. Prisoners are often referred for religious visitation by Chaplains or family for a variety of reasons such as the family's inability or unwillingness to visit, no outside support, greater personal attention and pre-release preparation.
Our letter writers provide support, encouragement and guidance and are educated to understand the context into which they are writing. Prison Fellowship Australia letter writers need to be both wise and compassionate when dealing with people in difficult and tumultuous circumstances.
A court appearance can be a very daunting experience, especially for the first time, due to uncertainty to process and future outcomes. Volunteers have a very beneficial role as they provide pastoral care, moral support and a calming influence.
Day Release programs provide an opportunity for prisoners (with appropriate security classification) to begin the process of reintegrating back into society prior to their release. However, to take advantage of this opportunity, prisoners require a sponsor willing pick them up in the morning, spend the day with them and return them in the evening. Prison Fellowship Australia volunteers have started providing day release sponsorship, with great success. Volunteers often include day release sponsorship as a part of a broader mentoring ministry.
