Thank You For Supporting Our Ministries on #GivingTuesday or Any Day!

We offer spiritual solutions for material problems, and strive to engender and evoke understanding and compassion in all people for all people. 

  

WHAT WE DO

Shepherding people and families with care and compassion all the way through the incarceration and reentry process to a new and transformed life is our mission. We engage in direct pastoral care in person/ telephone/ Skype/ FaceTime/ mail/ email (many Federal prisons now have email).

Confidentiality. As clergy, our communications and counseling are strictly confidential. For this reason, we are often the first people that families call when they are ready to end their isolation and reach out for help. This is also a major reason that many attorneys allow their clients to maintain relationships with us. 

Boards. It is our honor to serve on the Board of Directors of the two largest nonprofits in Connecticut dedicated to families affected by issues of incarceration, Community Partners in Action and Family ReEntry. In New York City, we serve on the Board of Healing Communities Network.  Additionally, we serve on the Editorial Board of the book & movement, The Justice Imperative (CT), and on the advisory boards of The Phoenix Association (CT) and Creative Projects Group (Los Angeles, CA).

Speaking engagements. We have had the privilege of speaking at some of the most important and influential venues in the United States, including (links are underlined): The Nantucket Project, Harriet Beecher Stowe Center (Hartford, CT), Greenwich Leadership Forum, Correctional Ministries & Chaplains Assoc. Conference (Wheaton College, IL), Yale Divinity School, Union Theological Seminary, churches, prisons and community reentry programs, etc.

Additional Advocacy/Press.  We further advocate for criminal justice reform by providing quotes, sound-bites and non-confidential information to the press.

Blog.  Authoring, curating and editing the important and widely read blog and site, prisonist.org, we focus on national and international criminal justice advocacy/ministry themes. Exclusive articles and guest blogs are posted by some of the world’s foremost experts in their fields.

Social media. Progressive Prison Project is a major presence in criminal justice reform on Twitter, Facebook, Linked In, Pinterest, Google+, Tumblr, etc.
