PRISON FELLOWSHIP AUSTRALIA
PFA is a trans-denominational Christian organisation working in prisons around Australia, assisting inmates and their families and others affected by crime. It is part of Prison Fellowship International.
PFI works in 110 countries using a network over 100,000 volunteers including judges, lawyers, corrections officials as well as chaplains, volunteer visitors. Different arms of the organisation approach this work from different angles. One arm works directly with inmates, ex-inmates, crime victims and inmates families. And another arm works with policy makers and corrections officials to promote restorative justice.
Our activities across the world enable us identify universal themes in rehabilitating prisoners and assisting those affected by crime. We have also been able to observe and analyse successful and unsuccessful government responses to crime over the last 30 years. This has earned us consultative status (Category II) on the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
Recidivism is the key problem facing societies around the world and an important part of our work is identifying programs and practices that reduce recidivism, which is why our organisation has started to come under increasing demand to consult with government bodies in the criminal justice field.
