Prison Fellowship

"In the wake of the death, destruction, and chaos unleashed by Hurricane Katrina, the staff and volunteers of Prison Fellowship are turning to Almighty God in prayer for the people of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.

We are also consulting with state officials who are dealing with the enormous task of relocating entire prison populations away from the affected areas. As a result, Prison Fellowship is gathering critical supplies — toiletries, blankets, etc. — to truck down to Louisiana’s prisons.

These prisons need these supplies to accommodate the influx of new inmates. Obviously, for the prisoners and the corrections staff, this is an enormous humanitarian and security concern.
