Abstract
The rehabilitation record of U.S. prisons has been so poor that many law-enforcement officials think of prisons merely as holding tanks for hazardous cargo. Other observers regard them as schools for crime. The U.S. re-arrest rate is 68%. And of course not all crimes result in arrests. Reston’s Prison Fellowship Ministries, with more than 50 U.S. field offices and some 76 affiliates abroad, has undertaken the daunting task of leading inmates toward a positive and productive future both in and out of prison. PF administers a variety of programs based in large part on religious inspiration.
